The link you posted is almost what i want. So this i my last try of explain what i am looking for:
1) I want to *clone* only part of some repository and made new one. This new repo will have only master branch even if the origin has more branches. This new repo will have only commits of the master branch even if the origin has more commits of other branches. (the new repo will be smaller in size = number of commits). 2) I wont lose ability work with old repo. Push/Pull to/from origin master branch. Making new branches in new repo, and pull them onto origin repo. 3) But till I directly set (somehow) this new git repo. It wont fetch any new branches and/or get any commits which doesnt belong to master branch from origin repo. So I make summary. The link you posted allow me work like i want, but it works with basic repo. I need this to work *on* *submodules*. So when I will work with project, and make changes in submodules and then I will clone whole project somewhere and run "git submodule update" all submodules will fetch only needed branch with its commits only(like it is in link, but for *submodule here*) Thanks for you patience!
