clone: allow "--dissociate" without reference
The "--reference" option is not the only way to provide a repository
to borrow objects from. A repository that borrows from another
repository can be cloned with "clone --local" and the resulting
repository will borrow from the same repository, which the user
may want to "--dissociate" from.
