I have a project on which I created a git repository:

```
$ cd myproject  
$ git init  
$ git add .  
$ git commit  

```

I the wanted to create a bare clone on another machine:

```
$ cd ..  
$ git clone --bare myproject  ssh://user@server:/GitRepos/myproject.git  

```

I executed the clone but did not print any answer.
I logged on to the server machine and tried to see how the files are stored. The path /GitRepos was empty, so I decided to do the clone again: 

```
$ git clone --bare myproject  ssh://user@server:/GitRepos/myproject.git

```

This time the answer was :

> 
> fatal: destination path 'ssh://user@server:/GitRepos/myproject.git' already exists and is not an empty directory.
> 
> 
> 

But I saw that the path was empty.  

What's going on here ?
