The exact problem, I think, is that your clone has saved the original 
location of the bare repository as the default upstream repository 
location, and now it's not there. (It's a little hard to tell without the 
command that you were running when you got the error.)

If you edit the clone's .git/config, you should see the old location in a 
'[remote "origin"]' section. If you change this to the new location, 
everything should work. You can also do it with "git remote" somehow, but 
I personally just edit the config file, so I don't know the details.
