Does pkgctl-repo-clone simply fetch the latest commit, or does it fetch the history as well?It fetches the history of the repository aswell, as it fully clones the archive[0].
'asp export' provided only the latest commit without the prior versions history, etc. Can pkgctl-repo-clone do that?So far it cannot I think, but as the tool is still very young, its not complete in quite some areas. Feel free to open a feature request for something like a --depth option for pkgctl repo clone on the repo[1].
If you only want part of the history you can use git directly, as I very recently documented it on the wiki[2]. It seems if you combine the commands from the article with the --depth 1 option from git[3] it should only fetch the latest revision.
