I'm not sure what you mean by that. It sets up a remote named 'origin' and `git pull` works just fine after that. In the general case, `git push` also works if the remote repository given allows pushing.

It's the difference between a .git of 69MB and 110MB, which for many users is negligible; and as for time of checkout, it's long enough either way that you'd go and make a cup of tea while you were waiting. It's hardly enough to consider switching VCSes for, in any case. Anyway, a quick search of the shows that an option to git clone to only track one branch was previously suggested and was thought to be a good idea, so I'm sure they'd be happy to accept a patch to this end. I'm willing to cook one up and act as liaison on the git mailing list if we're agreed here that we need it. -- Kanga said to Roo, "Drink up your milk first, dear, and talk after- wards."
