Let's cite the very first paragraph of the git-clone manual page: "Clones a repository into a newly created directory, creates remote-tracking branches for each branch in the cloned repository (visible using git branch -r), and creates and checks out an initial branch that is forked from the cloned repository’s currently active branch." Now it probably worth to fetch some book/howto on Git and read up on remote tracking branches. The (freely available on-line) "Pro Git" book would be OK. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
