Traffic size is a real issue for me. (As is quality of the rtw88 driver of Linux 5.10.*, as is the fact that git i think still cannot resume failed clones. I anyway had lots and lots of trouble and yes grief due to this, here.) |Okay, so what's the magic incantation to clone just that subset |of branches? git-clone(1) is not helpful ... Backward compatible for "the one real git" is $ cd DIR; git init $ git remote add origin -t BRANCH1 -t BRANCH2 -t 'release/*' URL $ git fetch -v Or git init and then copy the snippet :) (Mind you, just a few weeks ago on FreeBSD it turned out that i should re-learn git from scratch. I turned to it around 2010/11, wrote some scripts and aliases, and unless they break, for example due to rev-list reverting output in about 2013, i have a very basic way of doing, lots of update-ref and such, for example.) And sorry for the late reply, after weeks of -11° Celsius and months of winter we had 31° more yesterday, including sunshine, and i went for cycling. Then someone reported a brain-damage of mine in software i maintain, and i had to make a release, and then it was about 3 o'clock in the morning. --steffen |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt) ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T476a1d7b83269775-Mded9eca8705205b15d2110ca Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
