Hi,

Oh, come on.  Nobody called _you_ idiot.

But I illustrated that cloning from an empty repository makes no sense.

There is a huge difference between calling somebody an idiot on the one 
side, and investing some time to help somebody who has a suboptimal 
workflow on the other one.

But I fear that you took my help as a personal attack, and as a 
consequence you feel insulted, and I wasted my precious time.

Ciao,
