I do not necessarily think it is a good idea to say "-n" is "new" or "-c" is not "create" but is "clone/copy". As you said yourself in a later paragraph, "-n" sometimes is "--dry-run", and as we can see here "-c" in the context of a command that can create and clone (with two verbs behaving differently) is ambiguous. Starting with a spelled out --copy vs --create without muddying the water with -n may be a sensible way forward.
