My cloning process showed no visible errors, but 'git status' print
thousands of [Deleted]. I think that is why I miss nearly all the
directories in my git directory.
Anyway, now I'm using:
rsync -av --progress
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git .
rsync is resumable. Hope it works :)
All the best!
