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

   $ git init
   $ git pull git://server/path branch
The problem with this is that it doesn't set up tracking, so while it 
*works*, you are now forever doomed to re-do that

	git pull git://server/path branch

to update, and if you then ever give the wrong branch name you'll try to 
merge and get really confused as a beginner.
