It would certainly be possible to *implement* such a thing, but first
question would be, "why would you want to".  One of the things that
makes git so nice is that repositories don't take that much space, and
if you have a local repository (or no network access at all) it's much
faster to consult the local repository at all.

In fact, with svn, I normally consider it a bug that you *have* to
consult the remote repository to do a diff between two arbitrary
revisions.
