Subject: Dose git-fetch need --reference option like git-clone?
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2007 16:09:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46dff0320711110009y713c7d38q7b1457c92daecef6@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I want to track remote repsotory (say remoteA) on my local repository
(say localB), so i do the following in directory localB
$ git remote add remoteA git://remoteAUrl
$ git fetch remoteA
This will fetch all objects from git://remoteAUrl if localB and
remoteA don't have common objects.

If I already have a cloned remoteA on local machine (say
/path/to/remoteACloned), I want to do following to reduce the net
traffic as git-clone:
git fetch --reference /path/to/remoteACloned remotedA

Is this reasonable? Or is there already a resolution for this case?
