NAME

git-cpan-clone - Clone a CPAN module's history into a new git repository

SYNOPSIS

    git cpan-clone [ --help | --man ] [ --backpan | --vcs ] [ Foo::Bar | Foo-Bar-0.03.tar.gz | http://... ] [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION

Clones the history of a CPAN module into a new directory.

This command creates the named directory, creates a new git repository, calls git-cpan-init, and then checks out the code in the master branch. If the directory is omitted, then the "humanish" part of the named module is used.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
