Yeah, I don't really like this either.

Emil is right that xserver does this - but actually to set the subject
prefix to "PATCH xserver" rather than send-email's "to" field.

So I guess there's some precedent.  Still seems odd.  You almost want
a post-clone hook.  But no such thing exists in git today, as far as I
can tell...and generally you don't want it executing arbitrary code you
just cloned from the internet without giving you an opportunity to read
it first...so not sure if they'd add one...
