Grit clone example

gistfile1.rb

# Since Git is well structured, Grit uses a method missing (Grit::Git#method_missing) to 'systematically' execute Git commands:

require 'grit'
include Grit

gritty = Grit::Git.new('/tmp/filling-in')
gritty.clone({:quiet => false, :verbose => true, :progress => true, :branch => '37s'}, "git://github.com/cookbooks/cc-aws.git", "/tmp/cc-aws2")
#  => "Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/cc-aws2/.git/\n"
Dir.entries('/tmp/cc-aws2').size
# => 10

Adding this to mine own for future use. :)
