++added: Shallow checkouts =================
When bandwidth is an issue, people can download the latest version of your repository without downloading all the history, using "shallow checkouts". Note that such a copy has limitations, see http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-clone.html , option ``--depth`` for details. Example:: $ git clone --depth 1 git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/gnulib/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 9897, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5462/5462), done.
