        No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete.
 
+--naked::
+       Make a 'naked' 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.

+-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

+Make a local clone that borrows from the current directory, without checking things out::
++
+------------
+$ git clone -l -s -n . ../copy
+$ cd copy
+$ git show-branch

+
+
+Create a naked repository to publish your changes to the public::
