Side note.  Earlier you said:

   master.kernel.org just upgraded to git-1.5.1.4 and I notice
   that doing something like this:

           git clone --bare -n -l -s ../torvalds/linux-2.6.git test-2.6.git

   is no longer an instantaneous operation, it seems to be doing a lot
   of stuff now:

But I do not see any difference between v1.5.1.3 and v1.5.1.4 in this area. In fact, that get_repo_base() shell function has not changed since v0.99.
