Cloning a repository means that you're downloading a copy of the source code from source control. To use the iOS SDK you have to download the code from GitHub (ie- clone the iOS SDK repository).

Type

git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git [path to where you want to save sdk]

from a shell / command prompt.
