I understand that of late shallow clones have improved in various ways I just tried to clone emacs
Shallow emacs 262M Full clone 441M In particular shallow emacs' .git 38M Full emacs' .git 228M Most important it was some 2 hours with full and less than ½ hr with shallow However emacs devs prefer people to do a full clone I was wondering if there is/are have-the-cake-and-eat-it options. eg 1. Clone from a certain recentish tag to now 2. Change from a depth --1 to a depth --25 later 3. etc Note: Emacs is probably extreme in having a 40 year history(!) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
