How do I clone a Git repository and get the staged changes?

I'm cloning a Git repository by copying the ".git" directory. If I run "git checkout" in that directory it gets me the contents of HEAD. How do I get the staged changes from the original repository? Are they not stored in ".git" and if so is the only way to copy the source files then?

If you run git status you should see that the staged changes are still in the index. If that works, go ahead and run:

git checkout -- .

That should reset the the current working directory to match what you have staged.

For more information, see "How do I discard unstaged changes in Git?".
