Clone or fork independently #5

More a feature request / note than an issue…

The current behavior of forking-then-cloning-the-fork could be confusing for hub users. hub has two separate commands hub clone user/repo simply wraps git clone, then you use hub fork when you need to make a pull-request. You end up with origin pointing to the original project, and a branch named after your user pointing to your fork.

Hmm, I will have to think on this, I have thought a bit about separating clone and fork, and I think I agree that hub's approach is a good method for solving that. I also added code I had yet to use for adding named remotes to other forks, and I think this approach might dovetail better with that. Thank you for raising the issue I will give it some thought.
