Dear Jeff

I read most of the valuable references you provided
but could not find something along the lines describing inline.

[RFC] Partial Clone and Fetch
=============================

This is a WIP RFC for a partial clone and fetch feature wherein the client
can request that the server omit various blobs from the packfile during
clone and fetch.  Clients can later request omitted blobs (either from a
modified upload-pack-like request to the server or via a completely
independent mechanism).

Is it foreseen the server to *decide* with partial objects to serve
And the cloning-client still to work ok?

My case in mind is storing confidential files in Git (server)
that I want to publicize them to partial-cloning clients,
for non-repudiation, by sending out trees and commits alone
(or any non-sensitive blobs).

A possible UI would be to rely on a `.gitattributes` to specify
which objects are to be upheld.


Apologies if I'm intruding with an unrelated feature requests.
