<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
-<p>Clones a repository into a newly created directory. All remote
-branch heads are copied under <tt>$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/</tt>, except
-that the remote <tt>master</tt> is also copied to <tt>origin</tt> branch.</p>
-<p>In addition, <tt>$GIT_DIR/remotes/origin</tt> file is set up to have
-this line:</p>
-<div class="literalblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre><tt>Pull: master:origin</tt></pre>
-</div></div>
-<p>This is to help the typical workflow of working off of the
-remote <tt>master</tt> branch. Every time <tt>git pull</tt> without argument
-is run, the progress on the remote <tt>master</tt> branch is tracked by
-copying it into the local <tt>origin</tt> branch, and merged into the
-branch you are currently working on. Remote branches other than
-<tt>master</tt> are also added there to be tracked.</p>
+<p>Clones a repository into a newly created directory, creates
+remote-tracking branches for each branch in the cloned repository
+(visible using <tt>git branch -r</tt>), and creates and checks out a master
+branch equal to the cloned repository's master branch.</p>
+<p>After the clone, a plain <tt>git fetch</tt> without arguments will update
+all the remote-tracking branches, and a <tt>git pull</tt> without
+arguments will in addition merge the remote master branch into the
+current branch.</p>
+<p>This default configuration is achieved by creating references to
+the remote branch heads under <tt>$GIT_DIR/refs/remotes/origin</tt> and
+by initializing <tt>remote.origin.url</tt> and <tt>remote.origin.fetch</tt>
+configuration variables.</p>
