I have already posted this message on git-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but I have been advised to rather use this list. I know that there is a related thread (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/207257), but I don't think that this provides an answer to my question (me too I am on a slow 3G connection :)) I am wondering what algorithm is used by git clone command ? When cloning from remote repositories, if there is a link failure and the same command is issued again, the process should be smart enough to figure out what objects have been already transferred locally and restart the cloning process from the point it has been interrupted. As far as I can tell this is not the case, each time I have restarted the cloning process everything started from the beginning. This is extremely annoying with slow, unreliable connections. Are there any ways to cope with this situation or any future plans ? -- 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
