If you don't mind cloning the entire git repo (which may be quite
large in KDE case, I guess), then you may want to try "sparse
checkout". The patch series is available as a topic branch "tp/sco" in
this branch:

http://repo.or.cz/w/git/pclouds.git?a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/inst

Or I can send the patch series to you. It lets you specify what part
of the tree you want to checkout.
