Ah, damn. In all the discussion & flamefesting to say that people
don't want to use the # character, noone talks about of what cogito
used it for.

Having something functionally similar to

  cg-clone git://foo.tld/bar.git#blue

would save a few steps -- and some potential confusion -- for projects
using GIT.

In case it's not clear what it does (not everyone here has used
cogito) it will create and checkout a branch tracking the "blue" head
on the repo when the clone is done. This is _instead of_ creating and
checking out the branch that tracks the configured "HEAD" of the repo.

IMHO is a quite nice thing to have -- and AFAICS we don't have it in
master or pu. I care about the shed for the bike, not its colour.
cheers,
