And I think the frequency with which you type this command is not a good metric for deciding if a command-line option should be required. Instead, the focus should be on having good defaults for a good user experience, (for example, the benchmarking that started this thread that gave a bad first impression of git). So, just making git-clone go as fast as possible when local, without requiring any additional options from the user, would be a very good thing. As for the concern that new users might do local clones in the hope to get some redundancy, hopefully the fact that the operation is instantaneous will give plenty of clue to the user that no redundancy has been provided. That should be enough to send the user looking for the documentation to find the --no-hard-links option. -Carl
