For projects with a long history, it might make sense to do it unconditionally, but for young projects, the packs would be very small and inefficient.

However, I cannot think of other use cases where "--keep" would not make sense, and since projects tend to get a long history, maybe it would be good to introduce a "--nokeep" to git-clone.
