After what I thought I have set up a git server under http, I'm getting this
error on client site whenever I issue a git command: "fatal: Not a git
repository (or any of the parent directories): .git".

Here is what I did:
(1) In project directory, clone a git project:  "git clone --bare proj.git" 
( I noticed no .git subdirectory exists in the cloned directory).
(2) Move the cloned directory proj.git under web server path.
(3) On a separate client machine, clone a local copy of the project:  "git
clone http://git-server/proj.git" (This command runs and gives me the actual
source code files and nothing else.  The cloned proj.git directories
contains git files and directories).

I'm new and I must have missed something.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.
