Yeah, I have often thought about that (especially the push support, which has always been flaky and underused). However, some possible schemes for resumable clone could be easily implemented by shunting the cloner to a dumb-http conversation.

Food for thought. -Peff -- 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
