Because when I was originally writing Fossil, I thought it would be
convenient to be able to restrict Clone as a means of limiting bandwidth
usage.  Sure, you could always get the same information by doing multiple
checkouts, but I thought if it were hard, there would be fewer attempts.

As it turns out, the clone protocol is so efficient that restricting clone
has not really been necessary.
