I instructed git to use a local mirror of Linus's tree, but the clone ended up downloading over 40MB of data: $ git clone --bare --reference /.src/kernel/linus.git/ \ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.24.y.git= \ 2.6.24.y.git Initialized empty Git repository in /media/stuff/src/kernel/2.6.24.y.git/ remote: Counting objects: 15483, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (14747/14747), done. remote: Total 15483 (delta 1795), reused 5236 (delta 632) Receiving objects: 100% (15483/15483), 46.30 MiB | 317 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (1795/1795), done. I expected a much smaller download, as the difference between the heads of both trees are only a few patches (2.6.24 -> 2.6.24.2).
