I haven't been watching this recently, but if this is what I understand it to be (the ability to get a partial repository from upstream and work normally from there with the result of data-mineing tools sometimes reporting 'that's part of the truncated history' if they hit the cutoff) consider my hand raised. there are a number of cases where I would be interested in following a project as it moves forwards, but do not have the need to have the full history (even with the good compression that a git pack provides, it's still a significant amount of disk space and download time for large projects)
