git clone through ssh

by

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 ?
