override the default when `/path/to/repo` is given, using the regular
Git transport instead.

-To force copying instead of hardlinking (which may be desirable if you

-usual "Git aware" transport mechanism, `--no-hardlinks` can be used.

Instead of placing the cloned repository where it is supposed
to be, place the cloned repository at the specified directory,
- then make a filesytem-agnostic Git symbolic link to there.
+ then make a filesystem-agnostic Git symbolic link to there.
The result is Git repository can be separated from working
tree.
