+/**
+ * Perform a local clone into a repository
+ *
+ * A "local clone" bypasses any git-aware protocols and simply copies
+ * over the object database from the source repository. It is often
+ * faster than a git-aware clone, but no verification of the data is
+ * performed, and can copy over too much data.
+ *
+ * @param repo the repository to use
+ * @param remote the remote repository to clone from
+ * @param co_opts options to use during checkout
+ * @param branch the branch to checkout after the clone, pass NULL for the
+ *        remote's default branch
+ * @param link wether to use hardlinks instead of copying
+ * objects. This is only possible if both repositories are on the same
+ * filesystem.
+ * @param signature the identity used when updating the reflog
+ * @return 0 on success, any non-zero return value from a callback
+ *         function, or a negative value to indicate an error (use
+ *         `giterr_last` for a detailed error message)
