Support init from a reference client like git clone --reference does #12

Reported by Jean-Baptiste Queru <jbq@google.com> on Tue Mar 03 12:13:17 PST 2009
Source: JIRA REPO-12
Affected Version: 1.6.1

I find that I'm running repo init every few hours while I work (whenever I
find myself in a situation I don't know how to recover from). I'd like to
avoid hitting the server each time, though, since it takes quite a while (and
uses some bandwidth).

Is there any way I could just keep a clean "reference" repo client (i.e. where
all I do is repo sync), and then repo init new clients from that one? That
way, creating new clients is just a bunch of local file copies, which should
be much faster than a network transfer.
