Ok, in my own inimitable way, I think I have figured this out. Please let me know if this is dumb (output of commands below clipped):

% git --bare init-db --shared % GIT_DIR=. git fetch git://source/public/project topic:topic % cd there % git clone /repos/git/project % cd project % git checkout topic warning: You do not appear to currently be on a branch. warning: Forcing checkout of topic^0.

If this is ok, this appears to give me the result I want ... I think.

Thanks to all for hand-holding the blind and if someone already mentioned this option, apologies for missing it.

Bill
