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.

Functions
===================================
.. autofunction:: pygit2.init_repository
Example::
>>> from pygit2 import init_repository
>>> repo = init_repository('test') # Creates a non-bare repository
>>> repo = init_repository('test', bare=True) # Creates a bare repository
.. autofunction:: pygit2.clone_repository
Example::
>>> from pygit2 import clone_repository
>>> repo_url = 'git://github.com/libgit2/pygit2.git'
>>> repo_path = '/path/to/create/repository'
>>> repo = clone_repository(repo_url, repo_path) # Clones a non-bare repository
>>> repo = clone_repository(repo_url, repo_path, bare=True) # Clones a bare repository
.. autofunction:: pygit2.discover_repository
The Repository class
===================================
.. py:class:: pygit2.Repository(path)
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 :py:meth:`pygit2.Repository.checkout` method are explained in
the Checkout section.
Below there are some general attributes and methods:
.. autoattribute:: pygit2.Repository.path
.. autoattribute:: pygit2.Repository.workdir
.. autoattribute:: pygit2.Repository.is_bare
.. autoattribute:: pygit2.Repository.is_empty
.. automethod:: pygit2.Repository.read
.. automethod:: pygit2.Repository.write
