I do a fair amount of end-user support in our official IRC channel and 
every now and then someone with a really slow or unreliable internet 
connection stumbles over the fact that git can't resume clones. In the 
past I would real quick clone the repo and make a bundle for them (if 
the repo was public). Now I made a service out of it: 
https://bundler.caurea.org/. The site is really simple: you enter a git 
url and after a while you'll be able to download the bundle. Bundles are 
cached for a week. Each page has instructions how to convert the bundle 
into a git repository as you would get it via a regular git clone 
(example: https://bundler.caurea.org/bundle/4e709b2ab3f4d18746000002).

In theory it should be possible use the service from the commandline, 
for example to create a wrapper around git clone which does all the 
things automagically. If somebody is interested in doing that, please 
contact me and I'll send you the API documentation.
