I know I can use git remote to do this, but it is a bit clumsy

How about just
git init
.. set up remote tracking info in .git/config ..
git fetch remote
which should do what you want.

From git remote man page:
o Imitate git clone but track only selected branches
$ mkdir project.git
$ cd project.git
$ git init
$ git remote add -f -t master -m master origin git://example.com/git.git/
$ git merge origin
yes, this does the trick too but that is more to type so I thought
it would be simpler if I could just tell git clone which branches I want.
Now, this isn't a killer feature to me so if you don't like it, I good
with that too.
Well, that's how git-clone should probably look, now that git-remote exists.
