The obvious answer is not to git clone repeatedly. Is there any
reason you can't just clone once and update your local copy of the
repo after that? Git is not a download utility, it's meant for
incrementally synchronizing a local copy of revision history with
one or more remote copies. Yes clone is expensive, but you should
only need to do that at the very beginning unless something
catastrophic happens to your filesystem.
