Controlling the default cloning folder of a Git Repository

When we clone a git repository, we can ask git to create a directory to fill with the git directory thanks to the following command :

git --clone http://bitbucket.org/....../myrepo.git ToToFolder

Here, myrepo.git will be cloned into ToToFolder.

If I use the same command without forcing the cloning into ToToFolder, the clone will be done into the "The "humanish" part of the source repository" so into the folder myrepo.

I am creating a git repo, and I would like to control the name of the "by default cloning folder" without changing the name of my repo. So I have a repo called "myrepo.git" and I would like that if someone call : 

git --clone http://bitbucket.org/....../myrepo.git

The repo be cloned into a folder called "ToToFolder".

Is it possible ? And if yes how can I manage it ?

Thanks !

No – changing the name the repo will have clientside is not possible. You could create a more elaborate solution that requires some settings on the server and a custom script on the clients, but I guess that’s not what you want.
