Hi, is anybody working on making it possible to continue git clone after interruption? It would be quite useful for people with bad internet connection (I was downloading a big repo lately, and it was a bit frustrating to start it over every time git stopped at ~90%). Tomasz Kontusz

Unfortunately, we did not have enough GSoC slots for the project to allow restartable clones. There were discussions about how to implement this on the list, though. Ciao, Dscho

Unfortunately, those of us who know how the native protocol works can't come to an agreement on how it might be restartable. If you really read the archives on this topic, you'll see that Nico and I disagree about how to do this. IIRC Nico's position is, it isn't really possible to implement a restart. -- Shawn.
