*
* git_clone_options opts = GIT_CLONE_OPTIONS_INIT;
*
* - `checkout_opts` is options for the checkout step. To disable checkout,
* set the `checkout_strategy` to GIT_CHECKOUT_DEFAULT.
* - `bare` should be set to zero to create a standard repo, non-zero for
* a bare repo
* - `ignore_cert_errors` should be set to 1 if errors validating the remote host's
* certificate should be ignored.
*
* ** "origin" remote options: **
* - `remote_name` is the name given to the "origin" remote. The default is
* "origin".
* - `checkout_branch` gives the name of the branch to checkout. NULL means
* use the remote's HEAD.
