I have tried this command: lan@lan> time git-clone lan@lan:/home/lan/tmp/git/billing/repo r3 defaulting to local storage area lan@lan's password: Packing 204607 objects Unpacking 204607 objects Killed by signal 2.) done

real 4m0.874s user 0m0.013s sys 0m0.120s

I have killed it at ~ 20%. As I understand it does exactly what ssh git thru ssh transport does: git-rev-list | git-pack | ssh | git-unpack or something like this. So it is not faster.
