[PATCH v3 17/20] refs: allow ref backend to be set for clone

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
Jan 14, 2016, 16:26 UTC
Message-ID
<1452788777-24954-18-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1452788777-24954-1-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>

Add a new option, --ref-storage, to allow the ref backend type to be set on new clones.

Submodules must use the same ref backend as the parent repository, so we also pass the --ref-storage option option when cloning submodules.
