But between these two:
$ git clone --no-read-only-file-in-git https://github.com/foo/bar
...sightsee...
$ rm -r bar
to avoid "f" in "rm -r", vs.
$ git clone https://github.com/foo/bar
...sightsee...
$ rm -rf bar
to clone a repository you only have a tentive interest in just like
any other more permanent repositories, I am not sure how the former
is preferrable.
