diff between "--no-local" and "--no-hardlinks" for local clone?

  perusing "man git-clone" and, from the first part of the OPTIONS
section, it's not immediately obvious what the difference is between
using --no-local versus --no-hardlinks when cloning a local repo. both
seem to suggest that the local git transport mechanism will be used,
so what is the difference?
