I would add "automatically" and it's a real case for me. I work on the
same project on different machines (each of them has different
resources that I need from time to time). So I clone to all the
machines. If I make a fix in one machine, other machines should
automatically fetch it. It's like a private p2p network with a single
user. If I add another machine to the network, all nodes should be
aware of it, without me doing "git remote add" on each node.
