I think the cvs provider also permits a project name to be specified with ;project=

Speaking of cloning locations, I don't think they should be into the workspace by default for this operation.
Firstly, it's pretty rare (outside of Hello World examples) for there to be a 1-1 mapping between project and git repo. Secondly, Eclipse tends to suffer badly with nested projects, particularly when a parent is also used. Lastly, as noted below, there are questions on whether they should be shared or not.

I think at clone time, we should prompt for a (non workspace) location and let the user decide on whether they should use the same repo or not. I can think of supporting cases where you'd want to do one or the other; deciding on one isn't the right thing to do.

Since http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,1694 the default clone location is outside the Eclipse workspace,

so we have a first step in this direction.
