Hi there! Is there any reason why 'git clone -b' only takes a branch (from refs/heads/) or a tag (from refs/tags/) ? Background: At $dayjob we're using some kind of 'hidden' refs (in refs/releases/) to communicate between the 'branch integrator' (who creates the ref in refs/releases/) and the 'build master' who wants to build that ref. It would be a little easier if the build master could simply say git clone -b refs/releases/the-release-for-today URL instead of: git clone... ; cd ... ; git fetch... ; git checkout.... Any answer or even a better idea to solve that is appreciated.
