A popular way to do this is the shell command git-new-workdir, commonly located 
at /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir.

I don't use it myself, as 'git clone' is plenty fast and avoids some problems 
when multiple branches trying to update the same repository.  I suspect this is 
why git-new-workdir isn't in PATH by default.
