  17
  18 OPTIONS
  19 -------
  20 -l::
  21         When the repository to clone from is on a local machine,
  22         this flag bypasses normal "git aware" transport
  23         mechanism and clones the repository by making a copy of
  24         HEAD and everything under objects and refs directories.
  25         The files under .git/objects/ directory are hardlinked
  26         to save space when possible.
  27
  28 -q::
  29         Operate quietly.  This flag is passed to "rsync" and
  30         "git-clone-pack" commands when given.
  31
  32 -u <upload-pack>::
  33         When given, and the repository to clone from is handled
  34         by 'git-clone-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to
  35         the command to specify non-default path for the command
  36         run on the other end.
  37
  38 <repository>::
  39         The (possibly remote) repository to clone from.  It can
  40         be an "rsync://host/dir" URL, an "http://host/dir" URL,
  41         or [<host>:]/dir notation that is used by 'git-clone-pack'.
  42         Currently http transport is not supported.
  43
  44 <directory>::
  45         The name of a new directory to be cloned into.  It is an
  46         error to specify an existing directory.
