put clone would be the putative inverse of clone, ie. make a clone of
a local repository on a remote server.

throw is the hypothetical opposite of fetch. I agree that this is
academical, because it's logical to only allow fast-forwards for
sending revisions.

I think the whole clone design is a bit broken, in that the "master"
branch gets renamed or copied to "origin", but all of the other
branches remain unchanged in their names.

It's more logical for clone to either

 * leave all names unchanged

 * put all remote branches into a subdirectory.  This would also make
   it easier to track branches from multiple servers.

   At present,  I have in my build-daemon the following branches,

	cvs-head-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	hanwen-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	hwn-jcn-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_1_0-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_1_2-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_1_4-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_1_6-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_1_8-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_2_0-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_2_2-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_2_3_2b-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_2_3_5b-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_2_4-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_2_6-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	lilypond_2_8-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	master-git.sv.gnu.org-lilypond.git
	master-hanwen
	master-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	origin-repo.or.cz-lilypond.git
	stable
	stable-2.10
	stable--2.10-git.sv.gnu.org-lilypond.git

  It would solve lots of problems for me if cloning and fetching would
  put branches into a subdirectory, ie.

    git clone git://repo.or.cz/lilypond.git

  leads to branches

    repo.or.cz/lilypond_2_8
    repo.or.cz/lilypond_2_6
    repo.or.cz/lilypond_2_4
    repo.or.cz/master
     (etc..)
