New description:

 The slave-side git source step takes a `reference` argument that points to
 a git repository from which git should fetch objects.  That option causes
 `git clone` to be called with `--reference $ref`, and later adds
 `$ref/objects` to the new repository's `.git/objects/info/alternates`.

 The master-side git source step should have the same functionality.
