Ok, sorry, thought it was probable something really obvious. Here's the
sequence (using git version 1.5.4).

$ git-clone /big/git/paul.git/ epage
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/paul/epage/.git/
719749 bolcks
$ cd epage
$ git-fetch
fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
