From: Jeff King Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 19:05:08 +0000 (-0400) Subject: clone: add --branch option to select a different HEAD X-Git-Tag: v1.6.5-rc0~3^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a4ee28f41270bf032d0dd0bfb17f601b9b3971a;p=git.git clone: add --branch option to select a different HEAD We currently point the HEAD of a newly cloned repo to the same ref as the parent repo's HEAD. While a user can then "git checkout -b foo origin/foo" whichever branch they choose, it is more convenient and more efficient to tell clone which branch you want in the first place. Based on a patch by Kirill A. Korinskiy.
