Since you want to advertise this as an easier way than
`--dissociate --reference=<repository>`, it might make sense to avoid
sending the reader that way, too.
Maybe something like
--seed <repository>::
Fetch objects from <repository> instead of the clone URL when
possible. This is useful when a (possibly partial) clone already
exists locally, to avoid transferring the same objects again.
Would it be worth mentioning here that a bundle is a satisfactory
alternative to repository?

I haven't checked if the invocation would accept a bundle filename, but
I'm presuming it can in the same way that clone does.
