clone: Clone a repository into a new directory

Usage:
  eg clone [--depth DEPTH] REPOSITORY [DIRECTORY]

Description:
  Obtains a copy of a remote repository, including all history by default.
  A --depth option can be passed to only include a specified number of
  recent commits instead of all history (however, this option exists mostly
  due to the fact that users of other SCMs fail to understand that all
  history can be compressed into a size that is often smaller than the
  working copy).

  See 'eg help topic remote-urls' for a detailed list of the different ways
  to refer to remote repositories.

Examples:
  Get a local clone of cairo
      $ eg clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo

  Get a clone of a local project in a new directory 'mycopy'
      $ eg clone /path/to/existing/repo mycopy

  Get a clone of a project hosted on someone's website, asking for only the
  most recent 20 commits instead of all history, and storing it in the
  local directory mydir
      $ eg clone --depth 20 http://www.random.machine/path/to/git.repo mydir

Options:
  --depth DEPTH
    Only download the DEPTH most recent commits instead of all history

Differences from git clone:
  eg clone and git clone are very similar, but eg clone by default sets up
  a branch for each remote branch automatically (instead of only creating
  one branch, typically master).

  Run 'man git-clone' for a comprehensive list of options available.
  eg clone is designed to accept the same options as git clone, and
  with the same meanings unless specified otherwise in the above
  "Differences" section.
