Subject: filtering on git fetch?
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2020 09:41:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f6c1377f-6945-b04f-07cf-887c4b7c9f76@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi

Setup

(*) I'm fetching across a transatlantic link (RTT in the 300ms range on a good day)
(*) I'm fetching from a gerrit server

$ GIT_PACKET_TRACE=true git fetch

shows tons and tons of

09:39:43.355675 pkt-line.c:80           packet:        fetch< 3a7ad7ee5d7daa0c93a80fbb32a677597d81ac75 
refs/changes/00/9000/3
09:39:43.355684 pkt-line.c:80           packet:        fetch< 6cacf1db5311f6b250ebaa12c71419a8ff9b747e 
refs/changes/00/9000/meta
09:39:43.355693 pkt-line.c:80           packet:        fetch< 849a43434a5ede9ce9b70da14231f34edb2593fb 
refs/changes/00/90100/1

type stuff before it starts fetching the updates to master that I am interested in.

Is there any way to tell the remote git server that I'm only interested in a subset of stuff?

Thanks, Noel Grandin
