[PATCH] Add test for cloning with "--reference" repo being a subset of source repo

[Johan Herland <johan@herland.net>]

The first test in this series tests "git clone -l -s --reference B A C",
where repo B is a superset of repo A (A has one commit, B has the same
commit plus another). In this case, all objects to be cloned are already
present in B.

However, we should also test the case where the "--reference" repo is a
_subset_ of the source repo (e.g. "git clone -l -s --reference A B C"),
i.e. some objects are not available in the "--reference" repo, and will
have to be found in the source repo.

Thanks, it already looks much better than the initial version. :)

However, this added test currently fails for me with the following output:

repo is /home/johan/git/git/t/trash/B/.git
dir is E
Initialize E/.git
Initialized empty Git repository in E/.git/
Okay
Wrote /home/johan/git/git/t/trash/A/.git/objects
 to E/.git/objects/info/alternates

fatal: Cannot update the ref 'refs/remotes/origin/master'.
Remove junk E/.git
Remove junk E

The same test work well with git-clone.sh.
Not sure what's going on here, yet, but I thought I'd give you a heads up.
