clone: --dissociate option to mark that reference is only temporary
While use of the --reference option to borrow objects from an existing local repository of the same project is an effective way to reduce traffic when cloning a project over the network, it makes the resulting "borrowing" repository dependent on the "borrowed" repository. After running git clone --reference=P $URL Q the resulting repository Q will be broken if the borrowed repository P disappears. The way to allow the borrowed repository to be removed is to repack the borrowing repository (i.e. run "git repack -a -d" in Q); while power users may know it very well, it is not easily discoverable. Teach a new "--dissociate" option to "git clone" to run this repacking for the user. Helped-by: NJohannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: NJunio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
