I do not quite get this.
Before "clone" with or without "--dissociate" there is no
objects/info/alternates (before "clone", there is no ".git" to find

Are you talking about making a clone of a repository that was
created with "clone --reference", to borrow from the same
third repository the original is borrowing from?
