I have linux-2.6 repository pulled and I'd like to download some branch (say, netdev-2.6), which uses many of the same objects, but not to get all the objects from the git server. I've already tried certain commands, but still can't do it, and my bandwidth isn't too happy about it. It seems to require some kind of HEAD rewinding, or maybe fetching to another branch, I don't know. Anyone cares to help? --=20 GPG Key id: 0xD1F10BA2 Fingerprint: 96E2 304A B9C4 949A 10A0 9105 9543 0453 D1F1 0BA2 AstralStorm --------------enig1E6B6EB3DFAEC2E56AD78299 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD+2xIlUMEU9HxC6IRAlt6AJ0Sk1HTAhWrntfDp6lpiabCxVXz2ACfSfCN JUdjv5F/46QcSUyGxAahbXk= =R4+5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig1E6B6EB3DFAEC2E56AD78299--
