2012-01-16	clone: refuse to clone if --branch points to bogus ref	Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy	1	-6/+2
	It's possible that users make a typo in the branch name. Stop and let users recheck. Falling back to remote's HEAD is not documented any way. Except when using remote helper, the pack has not been transferred at this stage yet so we don't waste much bandwidth.

2009-08-26	clone: add --branch option to select a different HEAD	Jeff King	1	-0/+68
	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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
