I don't want to dictate anyone how to do this either, but at least the way presented in the readme should be as default as possible, I think. This should also not be too much of a burden, because when one wants it the other way around, its only a one time change and git remembers it for the rest of the clone's existence.

When in doubt, making the command less complicated is less important than consistency of directory names, I think. I assume, the command gets copy-pasted most of the time, so the value of keeping it short and simple isn't that high.

Letting git derive the correct directory name from the URL would certainly be the most elegant solution. You as the repo owner could rename it to VDrift/VDrift. The forks of others would not be renamed, but pull requests would still work. I just tested this with a friend's repo. The clones' remotes would need to be updated, thought: `git remote rm origin && git remote add origin https://github.com/VDrift/VDrift.git`
