Yes but what about existing trees?
Can you add an alternatives file, then prune, and get the same result as if
you had done a clone -s ?

Yes. Also do
        git repack -a -d -l

where the "-l" flag is the magic (it says to repack only objects that
aren't already packed in the alternate repository)

If all kernel.org repos get git-repack -a -d -l and git-pack-refs,
gitweb will see a significant speedup, as some up-to-date checks
become extremely cheap.

cheers
