cogito being a nice porcelain gives the git errormessage but manage to
clean up when the clone fails.
So also cogito would benefit from a more descriptive errormessage.

Well, git clone can fail for many reasons and I don't think the "no such
repository" one is completely overwhelming, so hinting that by Cogito
could be quite confusing (theme of the day: usability ;-)).

The real solution would be proper error reporting by the git daemon.

But that would open up for an information disclosure. If someone's 
hacking on a patch, please make it configurable at least.
