Can Git really have an usable but incomplete local clone?
Yes, it's called a shallow clone. See the --depth switch of git clone:
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-clone.html>
I was about to say "Cool!", but then I checked the doc on that link and
it says:
"A shallow repository has a number of limitations (you cannot clone or
fetch from it, nor push from nor into it), but is adequate if you are
only interested in the recent history of a large project with a long
history, and would want to send in fixes as patches. "
So it's actually not good for what I meant, since it is barely usable
(you cannot push from it). :(
