Glad to see this topic being revised. Here's the original discussion for reference:
ISTR that early git supported this -- maybe just on the HTTP implementation? I sure remember writing git clone http://host/foo.git#branchname and getting a cloned repo where 'branchname' was tracking 'origin/branchname', and was checked out as HEAD. It would have been dropped by the switch to C builtins :-/ cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
