The problem is visible when cloning a local repo. The cloned repository will have the origin url setup incorrectly: the origin name will be copied verbatim in origin url of the cloned repository. Normally, the name is to be expanded into absolute path.

We would probably need a to clean up this test a bit, though. When we write our tests, we tend to forget testing the cases where things ought to fail.

I'll probably redo the test myself, but for the record...

 - Please never "unset" GIT_CONFIG.  We do not want the tests to
   get affected with /etc/gitconfig or $HOME/.gitconfig;

 - We would also want to test the cases where a bare repository
   x exists and x.git does not, and try cloning it into y and z
   respectively.  Obviously the former should work and the
   latter should fail.
