Merge branch 'ar/clone-dissociate'
"git clone --dissociate" used to require that "--reference" was
used at the same time, but you can create a new repository that
borrows objects from another without using "--reference", namely
with "clone --local" from a repository that borrows objects from
other repositories.
* ar/clone-dissociate:
clone: allow "--dissociate" without reference
