So the thing I find myself wanting to do is
A "crib from local copy".  That is, the network
Cost is large, so when cloning point to a local
(ie, already on same Filesystem) clone that is
Similar, use it as a reference, but, in the end,
Create a complete copy into the new repository.

I don't want it hard linked with --local.
I don't want it shared with --shared.
I don't want it as an altrnate source with --reference.

What I want is a new, clean, complete, unshared repository.

But for efficiency reasons, I want to grab objects
From a different, filesystem-local clone if possible.

Does that work?
