Hi,
1. There is no `client.clone(remote, local)` definition to clone a remote
repository to a local disk, other than what's in bin/dulwich.py. (is there
something already that does this somewhere else?) There is a repo.clone() def
so I thought it might make sense to create a high level function that
encapsulates what is in `cmd_clone()` in bin/dulwich.py already and also has
the checkout function, `index.build_index_from_tree()` just like `repo.clone()`
does. I can submit a patch if you think this is worthy.
2. I don't think `index.build_index_from_tree()` respect's the core.filemode
config, which if set to false should not try to change file permissions.
3. I am trying to clone and work on repositories on a fuse filesystem with the
following settings:
`rw, nosuid, nodev, relatime, user_id=XXXX, group_id=XXXX, default_permissions,
allow_other 0 0`
and when I try to use `index.build_index_from_tree()` I get an exception and
system says "Operation not permitted". I get this same error if I try to use
chmod from a command line even if I do use su.
4. There is no `repo.checkout()` definition, although one could use
index.build_index_from_tree as you suggest in issue #68 and as Charlies B's did
in this SO answer [1]. I think it would be nice to have a `repo.checkout()`
that does this since there is already the clone high level function. Or perhaps
if you want to maintain dulwich as low-level, there could be a high level addon?
Thanks!
Mark
