Protohype is a nice word. Throw out a half-working stuff and
advertise it as the best thing since sliced bread even before it
starts to being useful ;-)

I am afraid that it might be a bit premature.
I've been hoping that we can make git-clone a thin wrapper
around init/remote/fetch/checkout. For one thing, we would want
to split the separate-remotes layout and bareness to create
"mirror" (I called it "pure" previously, but this is really a
mirror) layout for git-clone, among other things, and that kind
of enhancements would need to be done inside git-remote.
