git-clone does not work if run in /temp

If the current directory is '/temp', then git-clone fails:

$ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git powerpc ssh: /temp/http: Name or service not known fatal: unexpected EOF fetch-pack from '/temp/http:/git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git/.git' failed.

If I switch to /tmp and run git-clone again, it works.

Update: I just noticed I have a directory called "http:" (yes, with the colon) in my /temp directory, and that was causing the problem.

I still think this is a bug in git, though.  If I have time, I'll try to fix it myself.
