Since you want to advertise this as an easier way than `--dissociate --reference=<repository>`, it might make sense to avoid sending the reader that way, too.

Maybe something like

--seed <repository>::
    Fetch objects from <repository> instead of the clone URL when possible. This is useful when a (possibly partial) clone already exists locally, to avoid transferring the same objects again.
