If you clone repoA into repoB, then you commit some new changes to
repoA, you won't see the same changes in repoB unless you pull them
from repoA.

I don't think it matters whether or not they are in the same partition or not.

As far as I understand, if you clone within the same partition, the
object database might be hard-linked. This won't affect what files you
have checked out though. It would just mean that you won't need to
"fetch", because the objects are already there.
