Oops, I forgot to mention the actual solution. :)
Generally it is safe to clone _from_ an untrusted repo, even if it's on
a local filesystem. So untarring the repo and running:
git clone evil.git safe
cd safe
git log
should make it OK to run Git commands inside the "safe" directory.
Jonathan Nieder also mentioned using a bundle file, which may be even
simpler, as it skips the part where you have to deal with tar. :)
Run:
git bundle create foo.bundle --all
on the sending side, and then you can just:
git clone foo.bundle safe
on the receiving side.
