[GSoC idea] Resumable clone
Among GSoC 2011 ideas of git [1], it was proposed that a GSoC project could be implementing resumable clone for git. AFAIK, this feature is still missing in git but could be a great idea to be implemented. Does that sound OK to the community?

[1]: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SoC2011Ideas#Resumable_clone Depends on how it will be implemented, I guess. I still want to pursue stable pack approach [1]. It's not a good fit for clone case (cached bundles would be much better). On the other hand it does not need special support like cached bundles and can work with upload-pack-v1. It might fit in gsoc scope. I guess whether it may have a chance to get merged after gsoc is the deciding factor. I highly suspect that it would not fly well if it is added as a part of the current protocol, as people are actively discussing how to revamp it. And I have a feeling that the v2 protocol would not ready for a student to build upon by this summer.
