I suspect the option --local to git clone might be useful.
I have not tried myself, though.
anders@sleipner:~$ git clone -h
usage: git clone [options] [--] <repo> [<dir>]
...
-l, --local to clone from a local repository
...
anders@sleipner:~$ git clone --help
...
OPTIONS
--local, -l
When the repository to clone from is on a local machine, this flag
bypasses the normal "git aware" transport mechanism and clones the
repository by making a copy of HEAD and everything under objects
and refs directories. The files under .git/objects/ directory are
hardlinked to save space when possible. This is now the default
when the source repository is specified with /path/to/repo syntax,
so it essentially is a no-op option. To force copying instead of
hardlinking (which may be desirable if you are trying to make a
back-up of your repository), but still avoid the usual "git aware"
transport mechanism, --no-hardlinks can be used.
...

Anders
