Hi all, Is there a quick alternative to the following? mkdir myproj cd myproj git init git fetch git://whatever master git checkout -b master FETCH_HEAD Basically, the above is a lot like 'git clone' but only clones the 'master' branch. For really big projects with lots of junk in other branches, the above can save a lot of bandwidth. Also, if I were using git clone, I would often use --reference above. I'm kind of afraid of explaining to a newbie that they should add an entry to .git/objects/info/alternates after step 3. Am I missing something obvious?
