Hi there!

Is there any reason why 'git clone -b' only takes a branch (from refs/heads/)
or a tag (from refs/tags/) ?

Background: At $dayjob we're using some kind of 'hidden' refs (in 
refs/releases/)
to communicate between the 'branch integrator' (who creates the ref in 
refs/releases/)
and the 'build master' who wants to build that ref. 

It would be a little easier if the build master could simply say

  git clone -b refs/releases/the-release-for-today URL

instead of: git clone... ; cd ... ; git fetch... ; git checkout....

Any answer or even a better idea to solve that is appreciated.

Stefan
