the problem in communication is that you are using svn/cvs terminology |
| 9 |
to describe git, in git checkout does not imply fetch it does imply it |
| 10 |
in svn I believe. there is a shallow clone in git and narrow |
| 11 |
capability the problem is there is no way to update a shallow clone in |
| 12 |
a shallow way. if you were to host a git repo on nfs (or other network |
| 13 |
mountable fs) you could eve clone it locally in an as shallow way as |
| 14 |
cvs by using git-new-workdir but that would basically be a hack... |
