      git clone is very efficient at downloading large repositories.

      git fetch, can take twice as long as it has to check that each object exists.

      Our repository has 700-800K objects, it's a moderately sized repo, with a lot of history.

      git fetch takes 14 mins, git clone takes about 4 minutes.

      It would be nice to have some control over which method is used.
