One consequence of git clone is that if you have mega repos, it kind of ejects everything else from your cache for no win.

You'd actually rather special case full clones and instruct the storage layer to avoid adding to the cache for the clone. But this isn't always possible to do.

Git bundles seem like a good way to improve the performance of other requests, since they punt off to a CDN and protect the cache.
