I think the more important question here is what others will be pushing, not what you will be cloning or pulling. Since each developer is working on his own branch, another question is how you end up with a common code base. Are the developers merging their branches to master? And are they then pushing their changed master branch to a central repository? If that is the case, there is no way for you to pull the other developers' branches anyway.

If that is not the case, I fail to see how you can form a functioning team.

And as I final thought: I'd be curious to know why you wouldn't want to clone the other developers' branches to your repository?
