I think "scp -r" is a wrong way to "clone", as it will copy .git/config
that is specific to your local work tree that does not apply to the
situation at remote.example.com anyway.  You do not want to push into your
local repository with a work tree you are "scp -r"ing out of, but you do
want to push into the one at remote.example.com.

Interestingly enough, we had a two separate thread about making a bare
repository out of a repository with a work tree today ;-)

	remote.example.com$ cd /pub/scm/
        remote.example.com$ git clone --bare over.there:/spare/repo/cld/.git cld.git
