Github user spmallette commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/705 `clone()` won't work well for all graphs though. Making it a generalized utility for `clone()` just seems to invite more trouble than having it just available to TinkerGraph where it at least makes some sense. Cloning a JanusGraph or DseGraph instance, - weird - but `clone()` a small in-memory TinkerGraph - makes more sense. Any reason you think that `clone()` on TinkerGraph is different from a TinkerGraph specific method like `clear()`?
