Cloning from zero over http, https and rsync (and ftp) just downloads
the packfiles. Cloning over git or ssh if I understand correctly[*1*]
generates single pack for transfer. And that generates load for server.
[*1*] If I undersnad correctly from discussions here on git mailing
list, the pack transfer protocol currently can transfer only
_single_ pack; proposed multi-pack extension didn't get
implemented.
