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

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>

The above is generated when I was cloning locally, i.e. when I run the
following command:
$ git clone git://localhost/git.git
