Among GSoC 2011 ideas of git [1], it was proposed that a GSoC project
could be implementing resumable clone for git. AFAIK, this feature is
still missing in git but could be a great idea to be implemented. Does
that sound OK to the community?

Depends on how it will be implemented, I guess.
I highly suspect that it would not fly well if it is added as a part
of the current protocol, as people are actively discussing how to
revamp it. And I have a feeling that the v2 protocol would not
ready for a student to build upon by this summer.

I still want to pursue stable pack approach [1]. It's not a good fit
for clone case (cached bundles would be much better). On the other
hand it does not need special support like cached bundles and can work
with upload-pack-v1. It might fit in gsoc scope. I guess whether it
may have a chance to get merged after gsoc is the deciding factor.

Though what I had in mind (and patches) does not need on-disk caching at all.
