How?  AFAICS, it's upload-pack of the *clonee* that determines
where the actual git dir is.  The cloner has no clue.

we can just store the link to the workdir-or-gitdir and then try
it out every time we access it.  When clone stores the location
of the parent repository it doesn't know what it points to, but
fetch works, too.

clone is just init + fetch (well, almost).
The comment above applies to fetching as well.
