Sorry, I'll have to revert my 2 minute clone estimate, that was on my
vserver with a very thick uplink. Re-tried on my home server (~100
KiB/s), clone took about 20mins. :/

Local file system, same result on subsequent runs (git 1.4.4.4). On my
server at home (git 1.7.5.4) the log operation on a directory is faster
and takes ~2 seconds (both for initial and subsequent runs).
