As I mentioned before, this should probably be a --mirror clone to get
all of the remote branches, and to create a bare repository. I don't use
gitolite, so perhaps there is some need I don't know about for it to
have a working tree. But in general, I would think having a non-bare
repository would be a problem here, as it would prevent pushes to the
checked-out branch (but again, maybe there is some gitolite-specific
thing I am missing).
