How to access Git --mirror of rep

If we backup the git repos with the following commands

git clone --mirror gitolite@git:projectname.git

how can I access the project.. if I go into projectname it looks like a server repo NOT one that I can for seeing my code?

--mirror implies --bare. You can still look at files using git tools (log, show, cat-file, ls-tree, etc. or gitk for a visual tool). If you want to look around with non-git tools, though, you might git clone /path/to/my/local/copy/of/projectname.git /some/new/path. You can always delete that second clone when you are done looking around; or keep it if you need to reference it for whatever reason...
