[PATCH v7 26/33] clone: allow ref storage backend to be set for clone

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
Mar 1, 2016, 00:52 UTC
Message-ID
<1456793586-22082-27-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1456793586-22082-1-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>

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

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