cloning a complete repository with cogito

How can I clone a complete repository with cogito ?

cg-clone will only pull in everything from the master branch. Then it pulls in the objects pointed to by tags, which may live on other brachnes, resulting in a repository that is not git-fsck-clean.

I'd like to be able to clone the whole thing or even particular branches, different from master.

Think of a repository converted from cvs.

Well, pulling a specific branch can be done by appending #branchname to the URL. If you use rsync:// URL, it will pull everything, too. Pulling everything referenced by refs/ might be a nice thing, yes. ;-)
