Hi,

No.

init --shared means that the repository is set up such that different 
users can update branches.

clone --shared means that if the original repository is on the local 
machine (which it is not in your example), then that is used as an 
alternate, i.e. the objects are not copied at all, but reused from the 
other location.

I complained about that ambiguity, but I am probably the guilty person: 
AFAIR it was me who introduced "init --shared".

Ciao,
Dscho
