Re: How to clone-pack the HEAD?

Dear diary, on Thu, Dec 15, 2005 at 02:45:32AM CET, I got a letter
where Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] said that...

Except that I cannot do the guessing git-clone-pack does (without
fetching all the branches)

Exactly my point.  If you are not getting all the branches, you
are not cloning but doing something else.

Ah, play with the words. Sure I'm cloning - however I'm not cloning
a repository but a branch. In Cogito world, that's the only thing that
makes sense to clone, in GIT world it's more complicated (you don't
always clone the whole repository there either, since git-clone-pack
lets you narrow down the refs).

Extending git-fetch-pack would be the right approach if that is
what you are trying to do.

I'll then try to extend git-fetch-pack instead. I'll send some fix for
git-clone-pack anyway, though. ;-)
