Yes, it is my understanding that "clone" means to literally clone, not "pull into an empty repository with renamed head names", to the core GIT. I do not speak for Pasky, but Cogito's "clone" seems to have a bit different semantics (which I suspect is more friendly to the users in many situations).

Similarly, "push" to the core GIT (that is what git-send-pack is about) means performing a subset of "clone" in reverse. This is primarily to synchronise two repositories owned by a single person.
