Oops, haven't seen that new feature :x And haven't tried, pu @ 8d9027fa59b943db96a8a9090ec31d7f0f935596 is broken due to conflicts with hashmap (probably won't have time for a bit to look at it).

What I'm hoping to do with "git clone -s" would be client-only and compatible with existing HTTP servers that run "git update-server-info".
