Read the Git documentation, I didn't mean to suggest that to you at all. I just wondered whether there could be any good reason to disallow access to a directory's worth of files if it _is_ allowed to pull the files one by one. > OK... on more simple example: You pull only a subset of history (eg: > like a directory). You now don't have the full history because the files Who cares about that ... history? The starting point was to get the the _contents_ of a specific directory, not its "history". Just like when you pull a single file, you don't care about its "history", you want the file itself, its data. > There are lots more examples like this.

But does that make the slow 384Kb connection go away for the people that were around you before you moved? I don't think that's concerning you, but there _are_ people who exploit everything to the utmost, and so they do with transmission speed on the internet as well, and then they wonder why there are others that complain about their attitude. That's reckless at the very least, and ruthless in many cases. Inconsiderate anyway. -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
