There is no mention of "right to clone" for project members.

Background:

There are no information anywhere in the searchable Internet, and particular nothing found in the gitlab documentation, about the following scenario:

We have a self-hosted gitlab instance. We have a project containing code that is not available to the public (hidden/private/whatever that is called). Now, we want to allow a person from outside our organization the right to clone one of of our projects (preferably only a particular branch of one of our projects).

So, not using the gitlab definition of these terms: We want to allow read-only guest access to (a branch of) one of our projects, so the guest can use git clone, but the guest should have no other access.

This seems like an obvious, simple thing, but there is no useful documentation found in the first half hour searching the github documentation and googling.
