Subject: Status after 'git clone --no-checkout' ?

Hi there,

what exactly is the status after 'git clone --no-checkout'? Is there any 
straightforward way how one could end up in this state starting from a 
regularly checked out repository?

A somewhat related question:

'git checkout' without any further options serves to move from the 
aforementioned special state to a regular checked out state. Otherwise 
it never seems to do anything. Are there any other situations where 'git 
checkout' on its own would have any effect?

Thanks for any insight on this!
