Well, this is utterly ridiculous IMNSHO.  I would suggest to

  * fix the main lilypond repo so that git clone "just works", or
  * ask on g...@vger.kernel.org what else we're doing wrong, or
  * fix git so that git clone "just works"

If all of these fail, and git clone is *supposed* to be utterly
unusable, I suggest to look seriously into switching to bazaar or hg.
