Hi,

the latest git seems to output a warning every time I try to clone a repository that is not local:

$ git --version git version 1.5.2.rc3.27.g43d151

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git /usr/local/bin/git-clone: line 23: cd: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git: No such file or directory Initialized empty Git repository in /home/terrop/repositories/git/.git/ remote: Generating pack... ...

I think the output should be redirected to /dev/null, but I'm not a shell/git guru...

[PATCH] Fix git-clone buglet for remote case.

c2f599e09fd0496413d1744b5b89b9b5c223555d introduced a buglet while cloning from a remote URL; we forgot to squelch the unnecessary error message when we try to cd to the given "remote" name, in order to see if it is a local directory.

  Yup, thankfully that is harmless but it is ugly and wrong
  nevertheless.  Thanks for the report.
