Hi, I tried the following sequence of commands to make two clones of a remote repository, but got an error: $ git clone --use-separate-remote ssh://fp.gnu.org/~/git/snogray.git snogray-git $ git clone --use-separate-remote --reference snogray-git ssh://fp.gnu.org/~/git/snogray.git imp-sample error: refs/reference-tmp/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD points nowhere! Is this a real error, or bad usage? Also, a question: Is there anyway to make git-clone use --use-separate-remote by default? I'm trying for a "lots of branches in a single shared remote repository" style, and use-separate-remote seems more sane for this usage. I'm using git version 1.4.3.3.
