Re: [PATCH 0/2] Avoiding errors when partial cloning a tagged blob

I think this example, especially without the first line, would have
a practical use, i.e. "grab the contents of this directory without
recursing", and as such is a very convincing argument to support the
approach taken by the solution presented here.

this series goes in, though I haven't looked at the patches in detail.

Likewise.  Thanks.
