I'm glad I wasn't the only one super geeked when I read this idea. I'd
use the heck out of this in my .bashrc too. Sounds awesome. I actually
had a short-lived fling last year with a script to summarize my
uncommitted changes in all repos at the beginning of every session
(dropped because it became one more thing to gloss over) and could have
really used this command.

Oh, I like this idea a lot. Then I can do something silly like

  alias reproclone="git clone --no-maintainenance"

and get the benefits on everything else that I plan to be using
frequently.
