title: Are git clone receiving object and checkout the same
body: <p>I was going through an article which said:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>During the git clone, you'll find that checkout takes a long long
    time.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I don't know what that meant by 'checkout'. Does it mean 'Receiving objects'? I was cloning a repo and this is the outcome on the cmd prompt:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone mygit@abc.com:dir
  Cloning into 'dir'...
  remote: Counting objects: 251877, done.
  remote: Compressing objects: 100% (115770/115770), done.
  Receiving objects:  22% (57476/251877), 185.21 MiB | 53.00 KiB/s
