title: git clone through ssh
body: <p>I have a project on which I created a git repository:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ cd myproject  
  $ git init  
  $ git add .  
  $ git commit  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I the wanted to create a bare clone on another machine:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ cd ..  
  $ git clone --bare myproject  ssh://user@server:/GitRepos/myproject.git  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I executed the clone but did not print any answer.
  I logged on to the server machine and tried to see how the files are stored. The path /GitRepos was empty, so I decided to do the clone again:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git clone --bare myproject  ssh://user@server:/GitRepos/myproject.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This time the answer was :</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>fatal: destination path 'ssh://user@server:/GitRepos/myproject.git' already exists and is not an empty directory.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But I saw that the path was empty.<br>
  What's going on here ?</p>
