When you finally fall in love with git, you won't want to
use another SCM. :)
Even, if you have to, there is git-cvs{exportcommit,import}, git-svn,
and some other more or less working interfaces from git to other SCMs.
Perhaps it's also worth having a look at http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/mr/
(I've never used it, but heard of people who like using it.)

I don't know a configuration for that, but you can simply do:
git clone <repository> <reponame>.git
(e.g. git clone git://example.com/foo.git foo.git)
But, btw, I think some unofficial convention is, that the ".git" suffix
indicates a bare repository and without that suffix it is a checked out
working tree.

Stephan
