protocol version 2.  The given string must not contain a NUL or LF
	character.  The server's handling of server options, including
	unknown ones, is server-specific.
	When multiple `--server-option=<option>` are given, they are all
	sent to the other side in the order listed on the command line.
	When no ++--server-option=++__<option>__ is given from the command
	line, the values of configuration variable `remote.<name>.serverOption`
	are used instead.

`-n`::
`--no-checkout`::
	No checkout of `HEAD` is performed after the clone is complete.

`--`[`no-`]`reject-shallow`::
	Fail if the source repository is a shallow repository.
	The `clone.rejectShallow` configuration variable can be used to
	specify the default.

`--bare`::
	Make a 'bare' Git repository.  That is, instead of
	creating _<directory>_ and placing the administrative
	files in `<directory>/.git`, make the _<directory>_
	itself the `$GIT_DIR`. This obviously implies the `--no-checkout`
	because there is nowhere to check out the working tree.
	Also the branch heads at the remote are copied directly
	to corresponding local branch heads, without mapping
	them to `refs/remotes/origin/`.  When this option is
	used, neither remote-tracking branches nor the related
	configuration variables are created.

`--sparse`::
	Employ a sparse-checkout, with only files in the toplevel
	directory initially being present.  The
	linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1] command can be used to grow the
	working directory as needed.

`--filter=<filter-spec>`::
	Use the partial clone feature and request that the server sends
	a subset of reachable objects according to a given object filter.
	When using `--filter`, the supplied _<filter-spec>_ is used for
	the partial clone filter. For example, `--filter=blob:none` will
	filter out all blobs (file contents) until needed by Git. Also,
	`--filter=blob:limit=<size>` will filter out all blobs of size
	at least _<size>_. For more details on filter specifications, see
	the `--filter` option in linkgit:git-rev-list[1].

`--also-filter-submodules`::
	Also apply the partial clone filter to any submodules in the repository.
	Requires `--filter` and `--recurse-submodules`. This can be turned on by
	default by setting the `clone.filterSubmodules` config option.

`--mirror`::
	Set up a mirror of the source repository.  This implies `--bare`.
	Compared to `--bare`, `--mirror` not only maps local branches of the
	source to local branches of the target, it maps all refs (including
	remote-tracking branches, notes etc.) and sets up a refspec configuration such
	that all these refs are overwritten by a `git remote update` in the
	target repository.

`-o` _<name>_::
`--origin` _<name>_::
	Instead of using the remote name `origin` to keep track of the upstream
	repository, use _<name>_.  Overrides `clone.defaultRemoteName` from the
	config.

`-b` _<name>_::
`--branch` _<name>_::
	Instead of pointing the newly created `HEAD` to the branch pointed
	to by the cloned repository's `HEAD`, point to _<name>_ branch
	instead. In a non-bare repository, this is the branch that will
	be checked out.
	`--branch` can also take tags and detaches the `HEAD` at that commit
	in the resulting repository.

`--revision=<rev>`::
	Create a new repository, and fetch the history leading to the given
	revision _<rev>_ (and nothing else), without making any remote-tracking
	branch, and without making any local branch, and detach `HEAD` to
	_<rev>_. The argument can be a ref name (e.g. `refs/heads/main` or
	`refs/tags/v1.0`) that peels down to a commit, or a hexadecimal object
	name.
	This option is incompatible with `--branch` and `--mirror`.

`-u` _<upload-pack>_::
`--upload-pack` _<upload-pack>_::
	When given, and the repository to clone from is accessed
	via ssh, this specifies a non-default path for the command
	run on the other end.

`--template=<template-directory>`::
	Specify the directory from which templates will be used;
	(See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of linkgit:git-init[1].)
