No, sadly. The pack sent for a clone is generated dynamically, so there's no easy way to support the equivalent of an HTTP Range request to resume. Someone might implement an appropriate protocol extension to tackle this (e.g., peff's seed-with-clone.bundle hack) some day, but for now it doesn't exist. What you *can* do today is create a bundle from the large repo somewhere with a reliable connection and then grab that using a resumable transport such as HTTP. A kind person made a service to do that. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/181380 Hope that helps, Jonathan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
