I stand corrected, – the default in this case is to use
hardlinks for the Git objects; no ‘alternates’ file is involved.
Using --shared may be risky, as Git may choose to GC the
dangling objects away from emacs-1, not taking into account the
possibility of them being used in some other trees. In my case,
the source directory is often a “bare” Git repository used only
to mirror the upstream one, and thus it has no “local” commits,
which are somewhat likely to become dangling after rebases and
such. (And the upstream branches these mirrors track are
fast-forward, so git-fetch(1) isn’t going to produce any
dangling objects, either.)
