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.

"""
Clones a new Git repository from *url* in the given *path*.
* **bare** indicates whether a bare git repository should be created.
* **remote_name** is the name given to the "origin" remote. The default is "origin".
* **push_url** is a URL to be used for pushing. None means use the *url* parameter.
* **fetch_spec** defines the the default fetch spec. None results in the same behavior as *GIT_REMOTE_DEFAULT_FETCH*.
* **push_spec** is the fetch specification to be used for pushing. None means use the same spec as for *fetch_spec*.
* **checkout_branch** gives the name of the branch to checkout. None means use the remote's *HEAD*.
Returns a Repository class pointing to the newly cloned repository.
If you wish to use the repo, you need to do a checkout for one of the available branches, like this:
>>> repo = repo.clone_repository("url", "path")
>>> repo.checkout(branch) # i.e.: refs/heads/master
