A way to include the actual commits of backupped PRs? #193
Description
I've noticed that taking a backup of PRs doesn't include their actual commits in the git repository backup.
Is there a way to do this already that I might be missing? If not, would you accept a PR adding such functionality (by including refs/pull/*/head in the things to fetch from remote), and do you have any preferences on what it should look like?

Jumping in here after a long time.
--barealready gets you this:That clones with
git clone --mirror, sorefs/pull/*/headcomes down along with everything else. Just ran it against this repo and the backup has 391 pull refs in it. The gap is only doing the same without--bare.Is this still relevant for you? If so it looks like a fairly contained change for anyone who fancies having a go at it.
