Please consider adding a -f switch to git-clone (or something similar)

Hello,

I was thinking about creating a new repository in my home dir so that I could keep my dot files in it.

However, I found that I can't do a `git clone url:user/repo.git .` in a non-empty directory.

Is there a possibility of implementing a -f switch to git-clone so that when I use that, git would still clone the repo in the non-empty directory and keep the untracked files untracked/unstaged? (just as if I copied files to the git repo).

I know I could git-init in a empty directory and then copy the .git dir to the non-empty directory as a workaround, but I like the idea of cloning better.

My C skills aren't that great or I would have sent a patch already.

Thanks,

Diego
