Time to learn to use --reference perhaps?
git clone --reference linux-2.6 git://.../linville/wireless-dev.git
where "linux-2.6" is local repository which is my personal copy
of Linus's repo.
I knew you smart guys would have a command to do this. This is in the
category of a command that I use infrequently enough that I forget
about it.
Something like Cogito could be smart so that when you did a clone
command it could prompt you if you wanted a new repo or to share an
existing one.
