Re: git clone problem

[Jordi Durban <jordi.durban@gmail.com>]

Hi Santiago!

Thank you for your answer.

What I meant was that the "WHATEVER" directory contained the same files 
as the current directory (i.e the directory where I typed "git clone"). 
Thus, no files from the remote repository were cloned. It seemed really 
weird. However I was playing around with git and finally I was able to 
clone remote files in a "test" location as you suggested.

Thank you very much.
