Or instead of teaching everybody on this planet that "shared" means "set
permissions for sharing" in one context, and "use hard links and set up
.git/objects/info/alternates, which by the way may be dangerous" in

But you made me think, and maybe it is better to remove argument-less
--shared instead. What Roy introduced seems much more useful in practice.
