20 | -l:: |
| 21 | When the repository to clone from is on a local machine, | |
| 22 | this flag bypasses normal "git aware" transport | |
| 23 | mechanism and clones the repository by making a copy of | |
| 24 | HEAD and everything under objects and refs directories. | |
| 25 | The files under .git/objects/ directory are hardlinked | |
| 26 | to save space when possible. | |
| 27 | ||
