Ahh, that's the magic word I was groping for.

It seems that --bare on clone will prevent the checkout of the local working tree. If I decide I do want the sources today I can just check them out, but what is the proper way to do the reverse? I was thinking something like somehow empty the index file then do a git-reset or git-checkout-index to clean up the working tree to match the empty index, but I can't figure out how to empty the index.
