I think the standard operating procedure for that is to still clone
with the "--reference" option first, and then do "repack -a -d" in
the resulting clone (note the lack of "-l" option in "repack").
After that repack, you should be able to discard the alternates
file.
$ git clone --reference ../there otherhost:repo ours.git
$ cd ours.git
$ git repack -a -d ;# no "-l"!!!
$ mv .git/objects/info/alternates .git/objects/info/alter-nates
$ git fsck
$ rm .git/objects/info/alter-nates
