With it being fas= t and cheap (in relation to bandwidth and sizes for subsequent checkouts as well as CPU usage) . Please CC me if somebody does answer this mail as I'm not subscribed to the list. The thing I have been failures number of times while trying to clone a large repo. The only solution it seems is to ask somebody to make a git-bundle and get that bundle via wget or rsync and then unbundle it and then hopefully just sync it. The other way is to pray and hope that somehow git clones ends in a success. Somebody told me that there is/was some recent discussion on getting something like :- $ git clone --continue which is/would be very similar to how wget works so you can continue the large file download if the server supports resuming. Is something similar being worked upon or discussed upon ? If yes, please point me out to the discussion as it would be very beneficial to people like me who have unstable network connection. If not, then sorry to take your time. in gratitude. --=20 Regards, Shirish Agarwal =E0=A4=B6=E0=A4=BF=E0=A4=B0=E0=A5=80=E0=A4=B7= =E0=A4=85=E0=A4=97=E0=A5=8D=E0=A4=B0=E0=A4=B5=E0=A4=BE=E0=A4=B2 My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17
