I've read several messages that this is changing, but it still isn't clear where we should be starting. Moreover, I'd like to be able to keep one repo that is just pulling from the net and then clone it for different working directories. Why? Sometimes, in my ignorance, I break my working repo. It's handy to have one that I know is OK without pulling from the net each time.
