   This is almost perfect, but please add a Signed-off-by: line.

I cannot agree to the D-C-O in good faith, since it speaks of open source licenses, a group of licenses that include non-free software licenses, something which I cannot support.

   Oh, and maybe add a test like t/t5705-clone-2gb.sh?
Thank you, that is a very good idea.
