Then treat the new repo as clone of the last address. This would e.g. be very handy if you happen to have local mirror of say, Linux kernel and want to fetch some related project without messing with alternates or downloading everything again: git clone --use-mirror=~/repositories/linux-2.6 git://foo.example/linux-foo This would first fetch everything from local source and then update that from remote, likely being vastly faster. -Ilari -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
