Thanks.  What about cloning new repositories?  Real world example:

Local workstation has /spare/repo/cld/.git repository, with checked-out 
working tree.

I want to publish this tree to the world via a *.kernel.org-like system, 
so my task is to

	scp -r /spare/repo/cld/.git remote.example.com:/pub/scm/cld.git

but if I do this with scp, then future pushes to 
remote.example.com:/pub/scm/cld.git emit the warning about updating the 
currently checked-out branch -- even though there are no checked-out 
files.  The checked-out files were not copied in the scp.

Regards,
