Just to complement the answer: "git clone" is more or less a shorthand for "git init" followed by "git fetch" (to get the remote objects) and "git checkout" (to get the actual files). The original poster probably doesn't want the "git init" part here indeed. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
