So the problem is that "git clone" does not seem to perform normal
remote processing if you give it something that looks like a path.
More specifically, it looks like the problem is that if you give clone
something that does not contain a colon (':') it considers it to be a
local path and dies if that path does not exist. Adding a colon as
Andreas suggested makes it look like a remote URL so it will be handled
correctly.
