"git clone foo bar" currently reports "Cloning into
/path/to/bar/.git". Change this message to "Cloning into bar" to more
closely match the user's expectation.

This changes a progress message introduced a few weeks ago in
28ba96ab2. Unless there's a particular reason to report the .git dir
instead of the top level dir, seeing the top level dir feels more
natural to me.
(Or printing nothing. For a local clone, silently succeeding seems
like a reasonable default. And for a nonlocal clone there's enough
noise that the user is comforted that something is happening.)
For a --bare clone the current message prints the top level dir
(because that is the git dir), so one could argue in favor of the
current message because it confirms for the user whether their
checkout was bare or not. But that's only if the user is aware of how
it would appear in both cases; I doubt that the existing code intended
to make that distinction clear, and in practice I expect most users
(a) trust git to do what they asked and (b) wouldn't notice that
"Cloning into /path/to/bar" meant that it was a bare checkout.
