As I'm moving to more use of git I find it very helpful to keep the 
'.git' suffix on the names of directories in which I have git 
repositories. This makes it easier to distinguish between checkouts 
using different SCMs.

Is there a way to configure git clone to preserve the '.git' suffix 
when creating a directory?

Thanks for any ideas.
