So literally, if you do

      git clone <cntral-repo-over-network> <local>

Hum, I guess I'm just missing something and prepare to get flamed, but
wouldn't you want that one to be bare? Otherwise, the other clones won't
see all of the original repo's branches, right?

Yes, that's why

   git clone --reference /path/to/fat/checkout/.git/  <central-repo>

is far better. Each "thin" checkout sees the central repo normally,
but they borrow the object store from the referenced local "fat"
checkout.

cheers,
