# This clones a project from github into a named subdirectory

# then it will checkout that branch after cloning.
# Otherwise it will checkout "origin/develop."
# The first argument is the name of the directory to checkout
# the branch into.
# The second argument is the URL of the remote repository to checkout.
# Usually something like https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest.git
