It is useful, and it even gives you a warning that it still might not be

OK. But that's about 'cloning an empty repository'.
'NonExistentLocation' is not empty initially - it simply does
not exist.

Contrast that to 'git clone http://url.does.not.exist'. You don't
get an empty repository in 'url.does.not.exist' after running that.
