Not seeing why that is wrong, both 

git clone https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/postgis/postgis.git postgis

and 

git clone https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/postgis/postgis.git

should yield the same result. The one in the docs with the extra postgis, explicitly creates the directory. The one you propose, creates the default directory which is the name without .git in it.

Both should yield the same result. I prefer the explicitness of what is in the docs, as I often do things like 

git clone https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/postgis/postgis.git postgis-git
cd postgis-git
