Bernardo Heynemann a377b32b60 Documentation for the new clone method.
Even though I am aware that the comment lines in pygit2/__init__.py are longer than 79 characters, there's a reason for that.
If I break them, they'll show poorly in the documentation, and in my opinion better docs trump the 80 char requirement. If you think it's still better to have less than 80 characters in the comments, I'll gladly resubmit the changes at the expense of the documentation.

The repository

Everything starts either by creating a new repository, or by opening an existing one.

The Repository class

The Repository constructor only takes one argument, the path of the repository to open.

Example:

>>> from pygit2 import Repository
>>> repo = Repository('pygit2/.git')

The API of the Repository class is quite large. Since this documentation is orgaized by features, the related bits are explained in the related chapters, for instance the :pypygit2.Repository.checkout method are explained in the Checkout section.

Below there are some general attributes and methods:

pygit2.Repository.path

pygit2.Repository.workdir

pygit2.Repository.is_bare

pygit2.Repository.is_empty

pygit2.Repository.read

pygit2.Repository.write
