Re: Why is git clone not checking out files?

Ok, well, I certainly did not issue git clone --bare, it was just a
plain ol' clone:

% git clone /repos/git/project

and no checkout ensued.  Can I fix this somehow?  I've tried the clone
several times with no success.  Is there anything I can check in the
source repo (the above /repos/git/project) to see why it would not be
working?

I've seen this happen if HEAD in the source repository does not point
at a branch, or points at a commit which doesn't exist.  Though I
usually also see an error about how HEAD isn't a valid object name...
