Actually, unless people are (foolishly) tracking bajillions of binary files
on a branch, the time cost of cloning multiple branches is negligible at
best. Unless, of course, the divergence between the branches is enormous.
In that case, there's extra information to transfer, rather than just a
note that multiple branches own the same commit (and it makes merging a
beast).
Of course this doesn't strengthen my argument, just yours ;).
