There is something very wrong.  "-l -s" should never go to the
"remote: Generating pack..." codepath.  Is that reproducible?

Every single time on master.kernel.org

Could you try "sh -x git-clone" it?

Sure:

+ unset CDPATH
+ '[' -n '' ']'
+ quiet=
+ local=no
+ use_local=no
+ local_shared=no
+ unset template
+ no_checkout=
+ upload_pack=
+ bare=
+ reference=
+ origin=
+ origin_override=
+ use_separate_remote=t
+ depth=
+ no_progress=
+ test -t 1
+ case "$#,$1" in
+ bare=yes
+ shift
+ case "$#,$1" in
+ no_checkout=yes
+ shift
+ case "$#,$1" in
+ use_local=yes
+ shift
+ case "$#,$1" in
+ local_shared=yes
+ use_local=yes
+ shift
+ case "$#,$1" in
+ break
+ repo=../torvalds/linux-2.6.git
+ test -n ../torvalds/linux-2.6.git
+ test yes = yes
+ test yes = ''
+ no_checkout=yes
+ use_separate_remote=
+ test -z ''
+ origin=origin
++ get_repo_base ../torvalds/linux-2.6.git
+ base=

This part puzzles me.  The only way I could reproduce this was:

$ ls -F victim victim.git
ls: victim: No such file or directory
victim.git:
./   HEAD	config	 description	       hooks/  lost-found/  refs/
../  branches/	config~  gitcvs.master.sqlite  info/   objects/     remotes/
$ mkdir j
$ cd j
$ git clone --bare -l -s -n ../victim new.git

That is, I did not have ../victim but I did have ../victim.git/
repository, and I gave the former to "git clone".

But that suggests that you do not have ../torvalds/linux-2.6.git
directory but instead have ../torvalds/linux-2.6.git.git/ which
sound a bit insane.

Puzzled...
