Partial/shallow nor lazy clone we don't have (although there might be some
shallow clone partial solutions in topic branches and/or patches flying
around in git mailing list). Yet.

But you can do what was done for Linux kernel: split repository into current
and historical, and you can join them (join the history) if needed using
grafts. And even if one need historical repository, it is neede to
clone/copy only _once_. With alternatives (using historical repository as
one of alternatives for current repository) someone who has both
repositories does need only a little more space, I think, than if one used
single repository.
