Then consider using the so-called "shallow cloning": when doing a clone you can pass the --depth=1 command-line option to limit the number of the history fetched to an absolute minimum, like this: $ git clone --depth 1 -b master would clone just the remote branch named "master" and fetch just the amount of history needed to contain the master's tip commit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
