I can't understand what security issues this may cause ... If one has enough access to a repository to clone it, he already has a way to download each and every object from there. Ability to fetch the tree corresponding to particular commit won't add any new permissions to him, will it? I'm looking for a way to get a copy of a particular previous state of the project tree, without having to download entire tree. Something similar checking out particular svn revision. This is going to be wrapped into a script, which is intended to be executed by people without any knowledge of any VC system at all. Commit id could be a parameter for such a script.
