| with the source repository. The resulting repository | |
| starts out without any object of its own. | |
| </p> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p><strong>NOTE</strong>: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do <strong>not</strong> use | |
| it unless you understand what it does. If you clone your | |
| repository using this option and then delete branches (or use any | |
| other Git command that makes any existing commit unreferenced) in the | |
| source repository, some objects may become unreferenced (or dangling). | |
| These objects may be removed by normal Git operations (such as <code>git commit</code>) | |
| which automatically call <code>git gc --auto</code>. (See <a href="git-gc.html">git-gc(1)</a>.) | |

| cloned with <code>-s</code> will copy objects from the source repository into a pack | |
| in the cloned repository, removing the disk space savings of <code>clone -s</code>. | |
| It is safe, however, to run <code>git gc</code>, which uses the <code>-l</code> option by | |
| default.</p></div> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>If you want to break the dependency of a repository cloned with <code>-s</code> on | |
