Merge branch 'jk/clone-local'

Browse source 
"git clone --local $path" started its life as an experiment to
optionally use link/copy when cloning a repository on the disk, but
we didn't deprecate it after we made the option a no-op to always
use the optimization.

The command learns "--no-local" option to turn this off, as a more
explicit alternative over use of file:// URL.

* jk/clone-local:
  clone: allow --no-local to turn off local optimizations
  docs/clone: mention that --local may be ignored

The files under `.git/objects/` directory are hardlinked
to save space when possible. This is now the default when
the source repository is specified with `/path/to/repo`
syntax, so it essentially is a no-op option. To force
copying instead of hardlinking (which may be desirable
if you are trying to make a back-up of your repository),
but still avoid the usual "git aware" transport
mechanism, `--no-hardlinks` can be used.

If the repository is specified as a local path (e.g., `/path/to/repo`),
this is the default, and --local is essentially a no-op. If the
repository is specified as a URL, then this flag is ignored (and we
never use the local optimizations). Specifying `--no-local` will
override the default when `/path/to/repo` is given, using the regular
git transport instead.
