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...

This deeply puzzles me too.

I'm just not going to go into my git directory using that
symlink in my home directory any more. :-)
