Re: Why is git clone not checking out files?

[Bill Lear <rael@zopyra.com>]

Ok, in my own inimitable way, I think I have figured this out.  Please
let me know if this is dumb (output of commands below clipped):

% git --bare init-db --shared
% GIT_DIR=. git fetch git://source/public/project topic:topic
% cd there
% git clone /repos/git/project
% cd project
% git checkout topic
warning: You do not appear to currently be on a branch.
warning: Forcing checkout of topic^0.

If this is ok, this appears to give me the result I want ... I think.

Thanks to all for hand-holding the blind and if someone already mentioned
this option, apologies for missing it.
