If someone has a clean repo with no additional commits of their own, a
reclone will still do no harm.  The only repo that basically requires
that is the extras.  The others can be easily dealt with otherwise,
but for newbies, it's *still* easiest to just reclone.  If people have
the expertise to do things the other ways, they wouldn't be asking,
would they? :)

And a clone will not lose any commits to their previously cloned repo.
