Having come from monotone to git recently, I have to say that it isn't
immediately obvious how you get the single database for git a la
monotone (with remotes that point to the right place, etc.).  At first,
I also thought that you didn't share the object database on clones and I
had to discover that myself.  It's possible that I'm just an idiot too
;-)

It's possible he's doing that, but it's also possible he just isn't that
familiar with git.
