DESCRIPTION
-----------
--verbose::
-v::
- Run verbosely.
+ Run verbosely. Does not affect the reporting of progress status
+ to the standard error stream.
--progress::
Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
configuration variables are created.
--mirror::
- Set up a mirror of the remote repository. This implies `--bare`.
+ Set up a mirror of the source repository. This implies `--bare`.
+ Compared to `--bare`, `--mirror` not only maps local branches of the
+ source to local branches of the target, it maps all refs (including
+ remote-tracking branches, notes etc.) and sets up a refspec configuration such
+ that all these refs are overwritten by a `git remote update` in the
+ target repository.
--origin <name>::
-o <name>::
--template=<template_directory>::
Specify the directory from which templates will be used;
- if unset the templates are taken from the installation
- defined default, typically `/usr/share/git-core/templates`.
+ (See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of linkgit:git-init[1].)
--depth <depth>::
Create a 'shallow' clone with a history truncated to the
as patches.
--recursive::
+--recurse-submodules::
After the clone is created, initialize all submodules within,
using their default settings. This is equivalent to running
`git submodule update --init --recursive` immediately after
