You should be able to at least do 'git clone
git://git.fedoraproject.org/hosted/fedora-infrastructure.git' now. But
if you're pulling over ssh, the additional /git is necessary due to the
fact that you're ssh'ing and looking at the paths on the filesystem
Why not add an additional symlink from the root dir to make the
path consistent?
