Add the missing definite article ("the") in several places.
Change "note to..." to "note for...", since "note to" means that
that the note is addressed to someone (source: Google search).
Change "progressbar" to "progress bar" (source: Wikipedia).
Format git commands, options, and file names consistently using
back quotes (i.e. a fixed font in the resulting HTML document).

When saying the initial branch is equal to the currently active
remote branch, it is probably intended that the branch heads
point to the same commit. Maybe it would be more useful to a
new user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the
same.
More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so
that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote
branch. The next paragraph addresses that directly. What the
reader needs to know to begin with is that (1) the initial branch
is your own; if you do not pull, it won't get updated, and that
(2) the initial branch starts out at the same commit as the
upstream.

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.

Many projects using submodules expect all submodules to be checked out
in order to build/work correctly. A common command sequence for
developers on such projects is:
git clone url/to/project
cd project
git submodule update --init (--recursive)
This patch introduces the --recursive option to git-clone. The new
option causes git-clone to recursively clone and checkout all
submodules of the cloned project. Hence, the above command sequence
can be reduced to:
git clone --recursive url/to/project
--recursive is ignored if no checkout is done by the git-clone.
The patch also includes documentation and a selftest.

The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:
1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
be shared.
2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
repo.
This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.
For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".
For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no
reason to look at the repack documentation.

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the

as is usual for command names in manpages.
Using
doit () {
perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
}
for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \

do
doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

This changes the behaviour of cloning from a repository on the
local machine, by defaulting to "-l" (use hardlinks to share
files under .git/objects) and making "-l" a no-op. A new
option, --no-hardlinks, is also added to cause file-level copy
of files under .git/objects while still avoiding the normal
"pack to pipe, then receive and index pack" network transfer
overhead. The old behaviour of local cloning without -l nor -s
is availble by specifying the source repository with the newly
introduced file:///path/to/repo.git/ syntax (i.e. "same as
network" cloning).
* With --no-hardlinks (i.e. have all .git/objects/ copied via
cpio) would not catch the source repository corruption, and
also risks corrupted recipient repository if an
alpha-particle hits memory cell while indexing and resolving
deltas. As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you
have a good back-up.
* same-as-network is expensive, but it would catch the breakage
of the source repository. It still risks corrupted recipient
repository due to hardware failure. As long as the recipient
is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up.
* The new default on the same filesystem, as long as the source
repository is healthy, it is very likely that the recipient
would be, too. Also it is very cheap. You do not get any
back-up benefit, though.
None of the method is resilient against the source repository
corruption, so let's discount that from the comparison. Then
the difference with and without --no-hardlinks matters primarily
if you value the back-up benefit or not. If you want to use the
cloned repository as a back-up, then it is cheaper to do a clone
with --no-hardlinks and two git-fsck (source before clone,
recipient after clone) than same-as-network clone, especially as
you are likely to do a git-fsck on the recipient if you are so
paranoid anyway.
Which leads me to believe that being able to use file:/// is
probably a good idea, if only for testability, but probably of
little practical value. We default to hardlinked clone for
everyday use, and paranoids can use --no-hardlinks as a way to
make a back-up.

Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking
URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include
the URL-types list from urls.txt.
Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt. The latter
should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of
using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make
as much sense.

Finally.
The separate-remote layout is so much more organized than
traditional and easier to work with especially when you need to
deal with remote repositories with multiple branches and/or you
need to deal with more than one remote repositories, and using
traditional layout for new repositories simply does not make
much sense.
Internally we still have code for 1:1 mappings to create a bare
clone; that is a good thing and will not go away.

With making --use-separate-remote default when creating non-bare
clone, there was need for the flag which would turn off this behavior.
It was called --use-immingled-remote.
Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it
is a bit obscure word. I think it would be better to use simply
--no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote
option to git clone.

We've talked about this for quite some time on the list, and it
is a sane thing to do for a repository with an associcated
working tree.
For somebody who wants to use the traditional layout, there is a
backward compatibility option --use-immingled-remote, but it is
expected to be removed before the next major release.
