Subject: Clone a repository with only the objects needed for a single tag
Date: Wed, 02 Nov 2005 10:02:47 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43681E47.4010203@ust.hk> (raw)

Hi,

   Is there any method to clone/copy a repository with only the objects 
needed
for a single tag in order to save disk space?

   For example, if I want to start a new project based on a specific 
version of kernel
like v2.6.14. I would run `git-clone` and then checkout a new branch 
based on the tag.
However, one of the development host is a notebook computer which has 
only 2GB space
leave. Therefore I hope the space occupied by the respository could be 
mininiumized
while it keeps to be able to fetch/update from my master repository.

  Thanks for any advise.
