A first step to this would be an argument to git-clone to allow cloning
only a subset of refs.

Something like this?

	git-init-db
	git-fetch <repository> <refspecs>

Exactly, but I was suggesting something more user-friendly (e.g., it's
nice to use git-clone because it creates the remotes file). I was going
to hack up a quick change to git-clone, but I think some thought needs
to be given to semantics, especially with respect to tags (should it
imply no tags? Only tags which point to refs we're already fetching?).
