Question The git clone help page has this to say about --mirror: Set up a mirror of the remote repository. This implies --bare. But doesn't go into detail about how the --mirror clone is different from a --bare clone. Answer The difference is that when using --mirror, all refs are copied as-is. This means everything: remote-tracking branches, notes, refs/originals/* (backups from filter-branch). The cloned repo has it all. It's also set up so that a remote update will re-fetch everything from the origin (overwriting the copied refs).…
