If you use --reference, then get rid of the referenced project tree, all
projects based on this will no longer clone properly.
I propose adding a new option to do a "one time reference" to speed up the
initial clone, then repack afterwards so the new project tree no longer relies
on the referenced project tree.
A new subcommand should also be added to "repair" a project tree that has
previously used --reference.
The command to repack is `git repack -ad`, and to remove the reference is `rm
.git/objects/info/alternates`.
Note: can someone change this in to a feature request please? It doesn't give
me the option to.
