I'm coming to the a bit late, but:

The mythtv.git repo is over 200 MB.

Rather than just say re-clone, it would be better to recommend:

   move your old repo out of the way
   clone with --reference OLD_REPO
   rsync old clone's .git/objects/ over the new clone's .git/objects/
   remove the new clone's .git/objects/info/alternates file

That will avoid the massive bandwidth waste of just doing a fresh clone.
