From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@xxxxxxxxxx>
Cloning a remote repository is one of the most expensive operations in
Git. The server can spend a lot of CPU time generating a pack-file for
the client's request. The amount of data can clog the network for a long
time, and the Git protocol is not resumable. For users with poor network
connections or are located far away from the origin server, this can be
especially painful.
Add a new '--bundle-uri' option to 'git clone' to bootstrap a clone from
a bundle. If the user is aware of a bundle server, then they can tell
Git to bootstrap the new repository with these bundles before fetching
the remaining objects from the origin server.
