Description
Is there a way to do the equivalent of git clone --mirror <url> with git2-rs? It seems like bare cloning (https://docs.rs/git2/0.11.0/git2/build/struct.RepoBuilder.html#method.bare) is supported but I'm not able to find anything for mirroring.

Research direction
Start with git2::build::RepoBuilder and its documented bare-cloning support, linked from the issue. Determine whether git clone --mirror requires an existing git2-rs or libgit2 capability beyond bare cloning, and identify the project entry point or API where that support would belong. Done means establishing a supported mirror equivalent or documenting that it is unavailable.
