Subject: [PATCH] clone: don't clone the info/alternates file
Message-ID: <20060507181933.GD23738@admingilde.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060507181933.GD23738%40admingilde.org

```
Now that the cloned alternates file is parsed, too we don't need to
copy it into our new repository, we just reference it.
