I don't understand your question. "git remote" doesn't provide this functionality by itself. "git remote" is used by git-clone-more. I wish I were missing the obvious, but just mentioning "git remote" to me doesn't seem to help. I see that the manual for "git-remote" includes an example repeating some parts of git-clone-more. That's another evidence that the functionality provided by git-clone-more is needed. It looks like git-clone should be extended to support cloning of a repository on top of the existing one. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
