"Cloning remote repository" means just "get all the remote branches and set them up locally". In empty repository there are no branches yet, so there's nothing to clone. I guess this should be covered in the FAQ (if it isn't already), it is one of the top questions repo.or.cz users have and I think I see it frequently on IRC as well. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Ever try.
