A Repository clone is a concept from distributed revision control which represents the cloning of a remote repository to a local copy.
A clone operation is performed when a developer wants to start working on an existing project.
Usage by DVCSs
A few tools have a clone command: monotone (mtn), Mercurial (hg), git, and Bazaar (an alias for branch). SVK calls it mirror.
