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.
