This pulls in all of the branches in the same way as --mirror, but won't also pull in all of the non-branch references. For example the refs/pull/*/{head,merge} references that GitHub creates for every PR that has ever been opened against the repo can pull in a very large amount of objects that aren't useful, and which can massively inflate a repository.
