Indeed, thanks:

git clone --reference ~otheruser/nongnu https://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/nongnu.git

Not sure what you mean by that.

In any case, I just reproduced the problem:

    % git clone --reference ~otheruser/nongnu https://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/nongnu.git
    Cloning into 'nongnu'...
    Fetching objects: 36974, done.
    % cd nongnu 
    % git gc
    Enumerating objects: 36974, done.
    Nothing new to pack.
