The current repository is a "shallow clone" and that actually means:
1. it contains the same files and directories as the original
repository but with a truncated history (the history can only be
accessed if you have the relevant rights to the original repository.
That is restricted to sysadmins)
2. you can't clone nor fetch from it
3. you should create a workdir on the machine itself and play with
diff(1). With that you will be safely able to create patches and
attach them to BZ

Why would you need to mount it through sshfs? just ssh to the machine,
copy the files and start creating patches. You can't push anything to
the repository as you need an ack from two existing sysadmins before
doing so. The workflow you can use should look like this:
cp -r /srv/git/puppet.git . && cd puppet.git
vim modules/puppet/manifest/init.pp
git commit -a -m 'Added the puppet-lint package'
git format-patch -1 --stdout > 01-add-puppet-lint-to-puppet-class.patch
Then submit to Bugzilla as per [1].

Merging [2] in a few minutes.
Have an awesome day!
