Hello,
Would it be possible to add an option to git-clone to
skip the complete history? The result should be a
repository which contains the current head only (or
maybe a specified tag) and has that commit id added to
.git/info/grafts. For the fetch process, this would
certainly have to imply the --no-tags flag.
>From a user's point of view I'd imagine something like
this:
git-clone --no-history=v2.6.16 \
git://git.kernel.org/.../linux-2.6.git
The background: I'm regularly building kernels for a
handful of machines, and while I am happy to use the
blessings of git to get updates from the -stable
releases, I see no point in wasting space for a copy
of the complete kernel history on every single
machine. In practice this works pretty good, once I
have manually created such a castrated repository.
