clone: --naked option.

The new option --naked is to help creating a naked repository
for public consumption.

	$ git clone -l -s --naked \
	  /pub/scm/.../torvalds/linux-2.6.git subproj-2.6.git

is equivalent to this sequence:

	$ git clone -l -s -n /pub/scm/.../torvalds/linux-2.6.git temp
	$ mv temp/.git subproj-2.6.git
	$ rmdir temp

 -n::
 	No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete.
 
+--naked::
+	Make a 'naked' GIT repository.  That is, instead of
+	creating `<directory>` and placing the administrative
+	files in `<directory>/.git`, make the `<directory>`
+	itself the `$GIT_DIR`. This implies `-n` option.
+
 -o <name>::
 	Instead of using the branch name 'origin' to keep track
 	of the upstream repository, use <name> instead.  Note
