Add cheap local clone '-s' flag to git-clone-script
Using the $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates mechanism, create a new repository that borrows objects from the original repository when --shared flag is given in addition to --local. It is worth pointing out that the "cloned" repository depends on the original repository, so this should be used only when you can reasonably trust that the original repository would not disappear without your knowing.
