No, because a clone is not resumable. The best way to obtain a repository over an unstable link is to ask the repository owner to make a bundle file with `git bundle create --heads --tags` and serve the file using standard HTTP or rsync, which are resumable protocols. After you download the file, you can clone or fetch from the bundle to initialize your local repository, and then run git fetch to incrementally update to anything that is more recent than the bundle's creation. -- 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
