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.
