Subject: Tracking a repository for content instead of history
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 12:35:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200612121235.09984.andyparkins@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

For interests sake I'd like to track the kernel.org linux repository.  
However, I'm not that bothered about tracking the history - it's more that I 
like to have the latest kernel release lying around.

Is there a way that I could just pull individual commits from a git 
repository?  In particular - could I make a repository (obviously not a 
clone, because it wouldn't have all the history) that contained only the 
tagged commits from an upstream repository?

Is it even sensible to want that?  It strikes me that it's possible that there 
isn't that much space/bandwidth saving to be made.  Should I just clone the 
repository and shut up?  :-)
