  10 SYNOPSIS
  11 --------
  12 stg clone [OPTIONS] <repository> <dir>
  13
  14 DESCRIPTION
  15 -----------
  16
  17 Clone a GIT <repository> into the local <dir> (using
  18 gitlink:git-clone[1]) and initialise the resulting "master" branch as
  19 a patch stack.
  20
  21 This operation is for example suitable to start working using the
  22 "tracking branch" workflow (see gitlink:stg[1]).  Other means to setup
  23 an StGIT stack are stgdesc:init[] and the '--create' and '--clone'
  24 commands of stgdesc:branch[].
  25
  26 The target directory named by <dir> will be created by this command,
  27 and must not exist beforehand.
