Change log:  When cloning, can just work with bare repo

  As far as splitting the repo, I can verify the following process  
works.  It is necessary to do ALL the steps - {{git filter-branch}} is  
not enough as it leaves the Git repo still containing all the old  
references (i.e. the Git repo is still 150 MB).

  <code>
  # This command is best done on the same machine as a copy of the  
Horde repo, to cut down on network usage
-git clone [repo] [newrepo]
+git clone --bare [repo] [newrepo]

  cd [newrepo]
  git remote rm origin

  # At this point, the git pack is still humongous (150MB). These
