[Question] clone performance

Hi All,

I'm trying to answer a question for a customer on clone performance. They are doing at least 2-3 clones a day, of repositories with about 2500 files and 10Gb of content. This is stressing the file system. I have tried to convince them that their process is not reasonable and should stick with existing clones, using branch checkout rather that re=cloning for each feature branch. Sadly, I have not been successful - not for a lack of trying. Is there any way to improve raw clone performance in a situation like this, where status really doesn't matter, because the clone's life span is under 48 hours.

TIA, Randall
