I don't particularly agree with Shawn's proposal. Reliance on a stable sorting on the server side is too fragile, restrictive and cumbersome. Restartable clone is _hard_. Even I who has quite a bit of knowledge in the affected area didn't find a satisfactory solution yet. I think restartable clone is a really bad suggestion for SOC students. After all we want successful SOC projects, not ones that even core git developers did not yet find a good solution for. IMHO of course.
