git clone -l

What, exactly, is -l supposed to do for clone? As far as I can tell, we 
automatically do the local magic if we can. Would it be okay to make 
"local" default to "if possible", have "-l" mean error if not possible, 
and have "--no-local" able to avoid using local magic even if we could use 
it?
