title: When doing a git clone --mirror where are the actual files?
body: <p>I have a project on github which I'd like to mirror on my server.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried the following: <code>git clone --mirror git@github.com:user/repo.git</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Then in the <code>repo.git</code> directory, I have the following file structure (eg, output of <code>ls</code>):</p>
  
  <p><code>FETCH_HEAD branches/ description info/ packed-refs HEAD config hooks/ objects/ refs/</code></p>
  
  <p>So my question is: <strong>where are my files!?</strong> It looks like there's a bunch of git related stuff, but I just can't find the code I've written. Am I missing something obvious?</p>
  
  <p>Btw, <code>git status</code> returns <code>fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree</code> but <code>git branch</code> returns the branches. Weird.</p>
