--separate-git-dir was added to clone with the repository away from
standard position <worktree>/.git. It does not make sense to use it
without creating working directory.

That command does not work because --separate-git-dir requires an
argument in addition to <repo>, which is taken as the target repo.
Still it's hard to find a use case for
git clone --bare --separate-git-dir <real-repo> <symlink-repo>

Yeah. A separate clone operation following by that printf should be
clearer.
