title: git clone from->to directory confusion
body: <p>I'm in my EC2 /var/www directory and want to get the contents my Github repository, htdocs.</p>
  
  <p>When i'm here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/var/www $
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I type:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone git@github.com:tim-peterson/htdocs.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then Git makes a directory named htdocs inside of /var/www.</p>
  
  <p>However, I just want the contents of my htdocs to be put into the www folder NOT a new folder named /var/www/htdocs.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts?</p>
