`git clone --shared` allows to "share the objects with the source
repository". This means you can save a few MIB of disk storage if you
need several branches at the same time. But it's not that much: the .git
directory currently is about 67MIB in comparison to 60MIB of e.g. 4.4
sources.

I'm experimenting with such a setup and will report if there are any
benefits besides those few bytes.

Cheers,
Thorsten
