Hi,

Quite sometimes when cloning a large repo stalls, hitting Ctrl+c cleans what 
been downloaded, and process needs re-start.

Is there a way to recover or continue from already downloaded files during 
cloning ?
Please point me to an archive url if solution exists. (though I continue to 
search through them as I email this)

Can there be something like:
git clone <url> --use-method=rsync

-- 
Regards.
