Re: How to clone-pack the HEAD?

Dear diary, on Thu, Dec 15, 2005 at 06:29:10AM CET, I got a letter
where Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] said that...

Not really.  I take this back.  What you want to do I did not
understand well enough.

HEAD is kinda special.  A hack I can think of is to do ls-remote
first and do the guess clone-pack does for full clone case, and
then give a specific branch name to clone.  That might work.

... and another way would be to do this; I'll put this (with
fixes if there is some needed) in "master" tonight.

Thanks! This makes it work very nicely and exactly the way I want, even
giving git-fetch-pack-compatible output so I can seamlessly switch
between the two commands. Very nice!
