Subject: git-clone --reference: work well with pack-ref'ed reference repository
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.0-rc4~9
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=099c7837678361985ca9df1240cdaf6a42fc89f9;p=git.git

git-clone --reference: work well with pack-ref'ed reference repository

Earlier we only used loose refs to anchor already existing
objects.  When cloning from a repository that forked relatively
long time ago from the reference repository, this made the
want/have exchange by fetch-pack to do unnecessary work.
