osc fork should create a local checkout

[glaubitz]

I have just tried osc fork for the first time to integrate it into the git workflow.

I expected it to work a similar manner as osc bco which means:

• creating a branch in my home project on the source repository server
• checkout the sources locally

While the first part is implemented, the second part is missing:

glaubitz@suse-laptop:~/suse/git> osc fork devel:languages:python python-cloup
Using the following Gitea settings:
 * Config path: /home/glaubitz/.config/tea/config.yml
 * Login (name of the entry in the config file): glaubitz
 * URL: https://src.opensuse.org
 * User: glaubitz

Forking git repo pool/python-cloup ...
 * Fork created: glaubitz/python-cloup

Forking OBS package devel:languages:python/python-cloup ...
 * OBS apiurl: https://api.opensuse.org
 * Fork created: home:glaubitz:branches:devel:languages:python/python-cloup
 * scmsync URL: https://src.opensuse.org/glaubitz/python-cloup#factory
glaubitz@suse-laptop:~/suse/git> ls
grpc  libseccomp  oci-cli  python-oci-sdk
glaubitz@suse-laptop:~/suse/git>

A local checkout would be very useful as it avoids additional work with the web browser to perform the actual git clone command.

osc fork is poor man's alternative to osc branch because you need to clone it and then manually sync the correct contents to the right branch.

Let me try to extend it with --clone option to perform git-obs repo clone --branch=... and achieve similar functionality to osc bco.
That requires implementing --branch option for git-obs repo clone as well.
