I don't thinks it's a good idea to use the word "clone" here. "clone"
is used for repository cloning, and I find it confusing to overload
the word for branches.

I don't like the [1] kind of footnote within the text, but I forgot to
mention that "git push" updates the remote-tracking in my text.
That'll be fixed in next version.
