It is true that you can't clone it. "Cloning remote repository" means
just "get all the remote branches and set them up locally". In empty
repository there are no branches yet, so there's nothing to clone.
I guess this should be covered in the FAQ (if it isn't already), it is
one of the top questions repo.or.cz users have and I think I see it
frequently on IRC as well.
