Re: Why is git clone not checking out files?

You did not ask for a tracking branch to be created.  So the
result of your fetch is in FETCH_HEAD only.  Try instead:

GIT_DIR=. git fetch git://source/public/project topic:refs/heads/master

Or you can use "git clone --bare --shared" (not "git --bare clone";
there is a diference).
