Johannes's shallow clone work now should rebase cleanly on top
of 'master' although I haven't done so yet. As he said
himself the series is waiting for people who have needs for
such a feature to raise hands.
I haven't been watching this recently, but if this is what I understand
it to be (the ability to get a partial repository from upstream and work
normally from there with the result of data-mineing tools sometimes
reporting 'that's part of the truncated history' if they hit the cutoff)
consider my hand raised.
there are a number of cases where I would be interested in following a
project as it moves forwards, but do not have the need to have the full
history (even with the good compression that a git pack provides, it's
still a significant amount of disk space and download time for large
projects)
I am trying to test this feature. Is there a documentation .git/shallow some where. Atleast what those entries
mean ? I know in the mail johannes mentioned only core git will touch this file. But it should be ok to be
descriptive like other files. (FETCH_HEAD)
