 DESCRIPTION

 -n::
        No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete.
 
+--bare::
+       Make a 'bare' GIT repository.  That is, instead of
+       creating `<directory>` and placing the administrative
+       files in `<directory>/.git`, make the `<directory>`
+       itself the `$GIT_DIR`. This implies `-n` option.  When
+       this option is used, neither the `origin` branch nor the
+       default `remotes/origin` file is created.
+
+-o <name>::
+       Instead of using the branch name 'origin' to keep track
+       of the upstream repository, use <name> instead.  Note
+       that the shorthand name stored in `remotes/origin` is
+       not affected, but the local branch name to pull the
+       remote `master` branch into is.
