You'll probably pay the price for not downloading the full history later, but yes, what you're looking for is called "shallow clone", and it's possible with the --depth option of git-clone (I personnally never tried it, though). Side question: once you have a shallow clone, is it possible to "unshallow" it, that is, fetch the missing revisions? -- Matthieu - 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
