In bzr this was already discussed and the storage supports so called
"ghost" revisions, whose existence is known, but not their data. There
are even repositories around that contain them (created by converting
data from arch), but to my best knowledge there is no user interface to
create branches or checkouts with partial data.

In Git the same functionality can be achieved with so called shallow-
clones.  Unfortunately, they've only been discussed and not yet
implemented.
