Merge branch 'gc/better-error-when-local-clone-fails-with-symlink'
"git clone --local" stops copying from an original repository that
has symbolic links inside its $GIT_DIR; an error message when that
happens has been updated.
* gc/better-error-when-local-clone-fails-with-symlink:
clone: error specifically with --local and symlinked objects
