To my knowlede a git clone always clones all branches from the remote repo. I would like the possibly to clone selected branches, like git clone <repo URL> -b master -b upstream which will only fetch the master and upstream branch. I know I can use git remote to do this, but it is a bit clumsy when starting a new repo. What do you think?
