clone: clone from a repository with relative alternates
Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:
- If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.
- An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
repository.
This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".
