Hi,

1. The ability to clone into the current directory

   cg-clone had a -c option, which allowed cloning into the current
   directory.  This is particularly useful, since I keep my common
   dot files in a git repository, so all I need to do to set up a new
   machine is to clone that git repository over my empty home directory.

   Native git doesn't have any equivalent, other than:

   git clone -n .... tmp
   mv tmp/.git .
   rm -rf tmp
   git checkout HEAD

Well, it has:

	$ git init
	$ git remote add -f origin <url>
	$ git checkout -b master origin/master

If you really want to track /etc with Git, you can do that easily, and you 
can easily take the flak for a not-so-popular workflow.

Ciao,
