Hello everyone again, I am sorry for my untested and wrong suggestion. I got feedback that it doesn't work, which is due to my command is not unsetting GIT_WORK_TREE, but setting it to an empty string instead. If the environment variable GIT_WORK_TREE is needed (I presume it is), you need to unset it temporarily in a subshell: ( unset GIT_WORK_TREE; git clone --branch ... ) I would be happy if someone tested this suggestion and can confirm that it works.
