Re: git-clone removes destination path after permission deny

Nevermind, this is does not happen in 2.18.0. Apparently it was fixed somewhere between 2.11 and 2.18.

Hello.

I've recently observed the following:

   $ mkdir foo
   $ # try to clone from a repository that you have no access to
   $ git clone git@github.com:agis/private.git foo
   Cloning into 'foo'...
   Permission denied (publickey).
   fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

   Please make sure you have the correct access rights
   and the repository exists.
   $ ls foo
   ls: cannot access 'foo': No such file or directory

Is this expected behavior?

Thanks in advance,
Agis

P.S. If this is something that should be fixed, I'd be happy to prepare a patch
