I had to hand-munge it as the above lost all tabs and made the patch
unusable for machines X-<.
Re-reading the documentation, I realized that the use case this new
mode of operation allows is totally outside of the original design
space that was described, so I added a note to teach users how the
option can be used in a new way as well.
So here is what I tentatively queued.
Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] clone: allow "--dissociate" without reference
The "--reference" option is not the only way to provide a repository
to borrow objects from. A repository that borrows from another
repository can be cloned with "clone --local" and the resulting
repository will borrow from the same repository, which the user
may want to "--dissociate" from.
