Actually the practical scenario is different than just a bare repo. The repos should be connected with its working copy located at htdocs directory. So whenever someone commit anything in git the corresponding working directory should be updated accordingly with a post-commit hook. I have done the same in svn but don't know how git will help to achieve this ? The main part, How can I simply map the folder in htdocs with it's master in git repo ? As "git clone" actually creates the parent folder. In svn it was easy with

````````````
cd mydir
mydir $> svn --username ${admin_svn} --password ${admin_svn_pass} co  file:///${svn_path}/${name_site}/trunk ./
``````````````

How can I achieve the same in git ?
