The -s option to clone has a caveat on > its man page, which, to me sounds as "Kids, don't try this at home!" -s does not save disk space over the default _unless_ your local clone happens to be on a different file system. There is little reason to keep local clones on different file systems, however. On the same file system, the normal git clone operation uses hard links, and those are unproblematic regarding the given caveat. -- David Kastrup
