What version of git are you running?  1.6.3.3 does have a --mirror
option for clone.  Also, the earlier versions have a security issue, so
you will want to upgrade to 1.6.3.3 if you can.

Here is the gentoo bug on this issue:

Which distro do you use?  I will attempt to assist you with setting it
up if I can.
