A clone on the same device uses hard-links by default.
A --shared clone uses a symbolic link, so works across devices. However,
changes to the original repository affect it as well.
"git worktree add" lets you create a new working tree directly associated with
a single repository, using neither hardlinks nor symlinks; but has the added
overhead of having to learn the "git worktree" set of commands.
