Re: Making git disappear when talking about my code

Linus has stated a preference on the lkml for being told about branches in 
the syntax used for anonymous pulls: URL branchname.

That is, you say:

  Please pull from:
    git://server/path branch

And he cuts and pastes into the command line:

  git pull git://server/path branch

Now, this syntax isn't available for git-clone, because git-clone puts the 
optional directory to create after the URL. But, in an ideal world, this 
is how it would work; you could see a pull request, and just type "git 
some-command <paste>".

I think I already suggested this to Carl once, but if you 
forget about 'git clone' in this case (or any other cases), your
example would just work.

	$ git init
        $ git pull git://server/path branch
