Well, it does more than just copying the files. The directory on the
server only contains the internal data of the repository, i.e. the
stuff you'll normally find in a .git subdirectory.

"git clone" first downloads the internal repository data and then -
using the local copy of that data - does a checkout of the default
branch. The latter is what makes actual files available on the local
disk.

See the git documentation for details.
