git-clone, what does it do?

[Doug Smith]

Ok, I did this and wonder what it really did.  I did a 

git-clone http://www.linux-speakup.org/speakup.git

What does this do?  Does it patch already-existing binaries together,
such as taking the already-existing binary of the kernel and patch the
new speakup into it? Does it build another kernel? Exactly what did
this do? Where are the files, if any, that it pulled down? 

Sorry to ask such a weird question, but I need to know. 



Thanks.
