From: Robert Yang <liezhi.yang@...>

The "git clone /path/to/git/objects_symlink" couldn't work after the following
change:

https://github.com/git/git/commit/6f054f9fb3a501c35b55c65e547a244f14c38d56

But repo command manages the git repo as symlinks, so check whether the objects
is an symlink to fix the problem:

* Nothing is changed if git/objects is not a symlink
* Use "git clone file://" when git/objects is a symlink

I can take this once it hits the master branch.
