title: git : clone doesn't bring in all the files?
body: <p>I just created directory called <code>website</code>. This has a couple of images, index.html page etc. I ran : <code>git --bare init --shared=0777</code> </p>
  
  <p>Now, it successfully created an empty shared repo.</p>
  
  <p>I now try to clone this project by going into <code>/developers/developer1</code> on my server and running <code>git clone /live/website</code>. I get the following message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Initialized empty Git repository in /developer/developer1/website/.git/
  warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm running UNIX. When I do a <code>ls</code>, all I see is the .git folder and none of the images/ index.html page have been cloned here. I tried to do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git pull /live/website origin
  fatal: Couldn't find remote ref origin
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
  
  git pull /live/website master
  fatal: Couldn't find remote ref master
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know I need to be doing <code>origin</code> because when I do a <code>git remote -v</code>, here's what I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>origin  /live/website  (fetch)
  origin  /live/website (push)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So in a nutshell, here's what I need help doing:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Figure out how to clone all my files from /live/website to /developer1</li>
  <li>Be able to make changes to the files locally on developer1 and push those changes back.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>However, since I can't seem to get the files in the first place, I can't really proceed! The major intention is to allow a lot of developers to simultaneously work on the files and push their changes to the main <code>/live/website</code> directory, once they are done.</p>
