Hello,

Looking through clone man page it supports shallow clones of branches
and tags only.

Would it be possible to do shallow clone of a specific revision,
and checkout specific revision on clone?

Hi Michal,

I'm working on a patch, and I've submitted a first version [1] a little
while ago to allow users to pass a reference on git-clone(1). Would this
change fit your needs, or what else would you like to support?

Hello,

that slightly expands the available options but it does not make it
possible to clone an arbitrary revision, ie. specified by a SHA

Thanks

Michal
