1170e8026a Describe git-clone's actual behavior in the summary
If a branch other than "master" is checked out in the origin repository,
git-clone makes a local copy of that branch rather than the origin's
"master"
branch. This patch describes the actual behavior.

63085fabbd git-clone: lose the traditional 'no-separate-remote' layout
Finally.

The separate-remote layout is so much more organized than
traditional and easier to work with especially when you need to
deal with remote repositories with multiple branches and/or you
need to deal with more than one remote repositories, and using
traditional layout for new repositories simply does not make
much sense.

Internally we still have code for 1:1 mappings to create a bare
clone; that is a good thing and will not go away.

b360cca0b1 git-clone: Rename --use-immingled-remote option to --no-separate-remote
With making --use-separate-remote default when creating non-bare
clone, there was need for the flag which would turn off this behavior.
It was called --use-immingled-remote.

Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it
is a bit obscure word. I think it would be better to use simply
--no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote
option to git clone.

7182135189 Make git-clone --use-separate-remote the default
We've talked about this for quite some time on the list, and it
is a sane thing to do for a repository with an associcated
working tree.

For somebody who wants to use the traditional layout, there is a
backward compatibility option --use-immingled-remote, but it is
expected to be removed before the next major release.

2b5f3ed316 Several trivial documentation touch ups.
Move incorrect asciidoc level 2 titles back to level 1.

  Show output of git-name-rev in man page example.

  Reword sentences that begin with a period (.) in asciidoc
  numbered lists to work around conversion to man page bug.

  Mention that git-repack now calls git-prune-packed
  when the -d option is passed to it.

  [imap] section headers in the config file example need to be
  contained in a literal block.  imap.pass is the proper config
  file variable to use, not imap.password.

So document it.

Also corrected a minor issue with the documentation for the

8a1a120c55 clone: --naked option.
The new option --naked is to help creating a naked repository
for public consumption.

	$ git clone -l -s --naked \
	  /pub/scm/.../torvalds/linux-2.6.git subproj-2.6.git

is equivalent to this sequence:

	$ git clone -l -s -n /pub/scm/.../torvalds/linux-2.6.git temp
	$ mv temp/.git subproj-2.6.git
	$ rmdir temp

e6c310fd0d git-clone: Support changing the origin branch with -o
Earlier, git-clone stored upstream's master in the branch named 'origin',
possibly overwriting an existing such branch.

Now you can change it by calling git-clone with '-o <other_name>'.

 and usage string.]

0879aa2870 git-clone: Keep remote names when cloning unless explicitly told not to.
With this patch the following commands all clone into the local directory
"repo". If repo exists, it will still barf.

	git-clone git://host.xz/repo.git
	git-clone /path/to/repo/.git
	git-clone host.xz:repo.git

I ended up doing the same source-to-target sed'ing for all our company
projects, so it was easier to add it directly to git-clone.

95d117b605 Set up remotes/origin to track all remote branches.
This implements the idea Daniel Barkalow came up with, to match
the remotes/origin created by clone by default to the workflow I
use myself in my guinea pig repository, to have me eat my own
dog food.

We probably would want to use either .git/refs/local/heads/*
(idea by Linus) or .git/refs/heads/origin/* instead to reduce
the local ref namespace pollution.

215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.
