I have tried to reproduce this error, but no luck.

It should be "git clone --bare git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git"
or "git clone --bare git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git git.git"
Git doesn't need GIT_DIR for clone.

I didn't do this second cloning, but it should not matter I think.

True, the error messages of git-clone are bit cryptic and doesn't
give us much information. Does there exist such repository? Perhaps
it is not exported? Were there any error?

WORKSFORME

$ git --version
git version 1.4.4.1

$ git clone --bare git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
remote: Generating pack...
remote: Done counting 33587 objects.
remote: Deltifying 33587 objects.
remote:  100% (33587/33587) done

 100% (33587/33587) done

 100% (23205/23205) done

By the way, I wonder why git-clone names bare repository 'git',
and not 'git.git' as, I think, it should?

$ git-daemon --verbose --export-all --base-path=<pwd>
[31823] Connection from 127.0.0.1:46736
[31823] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=localhost>
[31823] Request upload-pack for '/git.git'
[31823] Disconnected

The above is generated when I was cloning locally, i.e. when I run the
following command:

$ git clone git://localhost/git.git
remote: Generating pack...
remote: Done counting 33587 objects.
remote: Deltifying 33587 objects.
remote:  100% (33587/33587) done

Resolving 23205 deltas.
 100% (23205/23205) done
Checking files out...

which went without any problem.
