provide read access to master branch only

Question

I would like to give read access to my master branch to someone.

I don't want that someone to be able to see and pull all other branches.

How can I go about this?

Will I have to create a brand new repository for this purpose and only provide read access to it? if so, how can I automate the process of copying the master branch to this new repository periodically?

We ended up doing the following:

* created a new repository
* added that repository as a remote repository
* pushed the master branch to that new repository.
