 DESCRIPTION

 -n::
 	No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete.
 
+--naked::
+	Make a 'naked' GIT repository.  That is, instead of
+	creating `<directory>` and placing the administrative
+	files in `<directory>/.git`, make the `<directory>`
+	itself the `$GIT_DIR`. This implies `-n` option.
+
+-o <name>::
+	Instead of using the branch name 'origin' to keep track
+	of the upstream repository, use <name> instead.  Note
+	that the shorthand name stored in `remotes/origin` is
+	not affected, but the local branch name to pull the
+	remote `master` branch into is.

 --upload-pack <upload-pack>::
 -u <upload-pack>::
 	When given, and the repository to clone from is handled
