Ah, play with the words. Sure I'm cloning - however I'm not cloning a repository but a branch. In Cogito world, that's the only thing that makes sense to clone, in GIT world it's more complicated (you don't always clone the whole repository there either, since git-clone-pack lets you narrow down the refs).

I'll then try to extend git-fetch-pack instead. I'll send some fix for git-clone-pack anyway, though. ;-)
