Add support for referencing existing local repositories when cloning repositories
On the off chance you forget to clone a git repo for a debian package
with gbp-clone instead of git-clone, it is handy to be able to
reference the local copy you already have when re-cloning the repo with
gbp-clone, in the same way that git-clone allows you to with the
--reference option.
Closes: #790889
