Wifi with a microwave would have been much easier than what I was doing!
I wish I  had thought of that  since I know how great  source of network
havoc it can be.

After experimenting  with this, I was  able to cause the  kind of issues
you were seeing by prematurely  causing connections to interrupt, but it
was extremely  sensitive to timing  (easier to reproduce with  HTTP than
HTTPS). I  committed a change that  will detect this and  while it won't
allow a  partial clone to  succeed, it will alert  the user to  the fact
that the clone failed:

For a big  repository, on a terrible  network, this may not  be the best
thing, but  at least  it won't give  the user a  false sense  of success
where the cloned repository may actually be in quite a poor state.

Thanks,

Andy
