Git cloning a repository that is already a clone

Question

Are there any ill side-effects to do a git clone of a repository that is already clone of another remote repository?

Answer 1

No side effects. You can safely clone a repository that comes as result of git clone operation. By the way, this is where git differs from centralized systems like Subversion: the cloned repository is an exact copy of the original one (except from the branches that need to be checkeout manually).
