If you were to just want this privately, the quick hack is to just disable traversal of trees in builtin-pack-objects on the server side, but it sounds like you want to do this in general (not just with git and not just with a server you control), and if so, you're kind of screwed. You could hack around it (very inefficiently) by parsing gitweb output, of course, but I bet that you'd probably get better performance just cloning the whole thing (which allows streaming, rather than trying to click through commits on gitweb) Linus - 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
