add checkout verb, to make bite-sized git repos
This allows you to create a repo as a child of asp's, which you can modify as you wish, and continue to pull changes from after calling 'abs update'. One might create a new remote for this repo in which to publish their own downstream branch.

--------
The following commands are understood:
+*checkout*::
+ Create a new git repository containing the full source and history
+ for each of the given targets. The new repository will pull from the
+ repository in '$ASPROOT' and must be updated separately after using
+ 'abs update'. If a checkout occurs on the same filesystem as '$ASPROOT',
+ most of the metadata can be hard linked, making this a relatively cheap
+ copy.
+
*difflog*::
Show the full revision history of the target, with file diffs.
*export*::
Dump the build source files for each target into a directory of the
- target's name in $PWD. Targets can be specified simply as 'package' to
+ target's name in '$PWD'. Targets can be specified simply as 'package' to
check out the source files at HEAD, or in 'repository/package' format
to checkout the source files which were used to push the 'package' which
exists in 'repository'.
