The "--shared" option to git-clone is silently ignored if "--local" is
not specified.  The manual doesn't mention such dependency.  Make
"--shared" imply "--local".

Hmph, then probably the manual should say it implies it...

Actually, from the user point of view --local and --shared are
alternatives to each other and to the default behavior.  --local copies
files, --shared makes a reference.

Saying that --shared implies --local could sound like git-clone would
still copy all objects.

My description was from the implementation point of view.

Ah.  Makes sense.
