Faster cloning

See original GitHub issue

Acceptance criteria: Be able to clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git

For reference, on my desktop using canonical git:

> git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce

With #305 indexPack is down from 22 minutes to 10 minutes. (New hard drive, so don’t compare with the old numbers.)

I got my implementation of git index-pack down from 72 minutes to 15. Cloning still takes 35 minutes but that’s because my “git checkout” code is redundant. With a proper one-pass clone, I think I can realistically get it down to 18 minutes.
