When I clone repos, I am noticiing that half the time the new repo does not have a master branch, but instead some other branch that is available on the original repos. According to the manual, the clone should:
"checks out an initial branch equal to the cloned repository's currently active branch" I thought that the currently active branch is shown via 'git branch', but I am noticing that the clone does not always have this branch as the initial branch. The initial branch is sometimes a branch that was used to merge into the active branch. I am pretty confused as to what is going on. My end goal is to give developers consise instructions on how to create a new branch off the master or any other branch they prefer. Thanks!
