In particular, the url passed to git-clone has an extra '/' given
after the 'file://' schema prefix, thus:
git clone --reference=original "file:///$(pwd)/original one
Once the prefix is removed, the remainder of the url looks something
like "//home/ramsay/git/t/...", which is then interpreted as an
network path. This then results in a "Permission denied" error, like
so:
ramsay $ ls //home
ls: cannot access //home: No such host or network path
ramsay $ ls //home/ramsay
ls: cannot access //home/ramsay: Permission denied
ramsay $
In order to fix the problem, we simply remove the extraneous '/'
character from the url.

Use the helper function split from the receiving end of "git push" to
allow the same optimization on the receiving end of "git fetch".

The receiving end of "git push" advertises the objects that the repository
itself does not use, but are at the tips of refs in other repositories
whose object databases are used as alternates for it. This helps it avoid
having to receive (and the pusher having to send) objects that are already
available to the receiving repository via the alternates mechanism.
Tweak the helper function that implements this feature, and move it to
transport.[ch] for future reuse by other programs.
The additional test demonstrates how this optimization is helping "git push",
and "git fetch" is ignorant about it.
