We have wanted this behavior; I don't think it's so foolish.  We have
an administrator create a new bare repo for us, and we populate it by
pushing into it.  It wold be nice if the administrator could create a
bare repo and we could clone from it, and push to it to populate it,
instead of cloning the bare repo from another repo that has already
been (partly) populated.
