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.

Did you use cogito perhaps?  That had #branch syntax IIRC ...

It would have been dropped by the switch to C builtins :-/

cheers,
