What a clone cannot carry
Absolute paths inside files that `doctor` does not know the format of. A compiled artifact with a build path baked into it, a database with a stored data directory, a lockfile that recorded where it ran. They are copied faithfully and they still name the original.

What doctor cannot see
Only git's own records and two file formats that write their own path. Anything else that points into a directory, including a line in a shell profile or a process whose working directory is inside it, is invisible to the report.
Which filesystems can share blocks
A filesystem missing from this table is measured like any other, so the answer comes from the probe.
