Hi,

My understanding was _always_ that the "-o" option was meant for the case that you want to clone from somewhere else than where you want to pull from. Something like an initial clone from a USB disk.

Yes, that was written in Perl by Christian Couder:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/69236

Peff's version does not need Perl, and is better integrated with the testsuite (via the new option -m). Christian's version parses the output, and might therefore be nicer to look at.

However, I think that both versions do not account for scripts, and I imagine that going through Git.pm and git-sh-setup is necessary for that.

Also, it might be a good idea to be able to provide extra arguments, such as "--attach-db=yes".

Post 1.5.4, definitely.
