Indeed, thanks:
git clone --reference ~otheruser/nongnu https://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/nongnu.git

Not sure what you mean by that.
In any case, I just reproduced the problem:
% git clone --reference ~otheruser/nongnu https://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/nongnu.git
Cloning into 'nongnu'...
Fetching objects: 36974, done.
% cd nongnu
% git gc
Enumerating objects: 36974, done.
Nothing new to pack.
