 SYNOPSIS
 --------
-'git-clone' [-l [-s]] [-q] [-n] [-u <upload-pack>] <repository> <directory>
+'git-clone' [-l [-s]] [-q] [-n] [-u <upload-pack>] <repository> [<directory>]
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-Clones a repository into a newly created directory.
+Clones a repository into a newly created directory.  All remote
+branch heads are copied under `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/`, except
+that the remote `master` is also copied to `origin` branch.
+
+In addition, `$GIT_DIR/remotes/origin` file is set up to have
+this line:
+
+       Pull: master:origin
+
+This is to help the typical workflow of working off of the
+remote `master` branch.  Every time `git pull` without argument
+is run, the progress on the remote `master` branch is tracked by
+copying it into the local `origin` branch, and merged into the
+branch you are currently working on.  Remote branches other than
+`master` are also added there to be tracked.
