Or you could use the relatively new git concept of a shallow clone, which only grabs the recent state of the repository without all the history. You can't do as much with a shallow clone, but if all you wanted was a snapshot of the current state, it fits the bill for smaller disk usage. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
