Hi, I'm new here so first of all thanks a lot for such a great tool! Does that mean this feature will not make it into 'master' any time soon? I'm currently trying to convince my managment to switch from CVS to git. What causes some trouble is that we have quite some files (> 40k) in various (>300) CVS modules and splitting them into sub-repos seams somewhat difficult. git has no problem even with that many files but commands that stat the working copy (e.g. 'git status') take quite long on our filers (it's either a problem with the filers or with nfs or both, I don't know yet). Having the ability to do sparse checkouts only of the repo sounds like a way out. Annother question: What's the timeline for 1.7.0? I couldn't find anything about it neither here nor in the wiki. Thanks, Peter
