Description Susan McCourt CLA 2011-04-19 20:03:59 EDT 
I find several things to be confusing about the git clone command:

- it only clones the repository, it doesn't actually link it into my workspace.  Presumably I'm to figure out how to do this using the status message that tells me where the cloned repo resides.  Ideally it should just link automatically for me.

- why is the icon ever present at all levels of the nav?  To me it seems like a peer to "link project."  It should just be visible when I'm at the nav root.  Otherwise I'll have to navigate to the root in order to link to the cloned repo.

Note that when we have a landing page (bug 343290) it can be even easier to create a project from a cloned repo.  But until then, I think we should make the git clone command appear only in the nav root and it should do the link for you.
