[GIT] How do I clone into a non-empty directory?

source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2411031/how-do-i-clone-into-a-non-empty-directory

reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9864728/how-to-get-git-to-clone-into-current-directory

git init
git remote add origin PATH/TO/REPO
git fetch
git checkout -t origin/master

Note: 만약 origin/master에 있는 폴더나 파일 이름이 같은 것이 존재한다면 아래와 같은 에러를 뿜는다.

fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches.
Did you intend to checkout 'origin/master' which can not be resolved as commit?

그 외의 경우엔, 아래와 같은 시나리오로 잘 공존하게 된다.
