When applied to a /local/ repository, – it doesn’t. Say, the
following will clone an existing emacs-1 working directory into
a new emacs-2 one, also setting up .git/objects/info/alternates
under the latter pointing to emacs-1/.git/objects, so that all
the Git commits available under the first are also available
under the second.
$ git clone --shared emacs-1 emacs-2
The branches and tags of these two working copies are entirely
independent, however.
The --shared option is the default when both the source and the
target directories are on the same filesystem.
