Two questions. First, can you repeat those specifiers, i.e. use "git clone --path=Documentation/ --path=.gitignore"?

Second, how `--path=<narrow_spec>` interacts with `-n' (no checkout). Does it even have any sense? Perhaps those options should be mutually incompatibile (and --bare and this option too)?
