Unrelated topic: We may also want to consider doing the reverse,
that is symlink '.git/refs/borrows-from' of the cloned repository
to '.git/refs' in the original repository.  This way pushing into
the cloned repository can avoid uploading objects which the cloned
repository already has access to via its objects/info/alternates
setup.

This would especially be nice with project forks, such as on
repo.or.cz.  I don't need to upload all of 'master' if it has
already been uploaded by pasky's mirror job, for example.
