Hi,

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.
