You can do
git clone --no-checkout --filter=blob:none $url repo
cd repo
git checkout $commit
That gives you commits and trees from other commits, but the only blobs
it downloads are from the named commit.
Using the existing tree filtering features to limit the trees fetched
and/or writing a patch for commit filtering are left as exercises to
the reader.
Thanks and hope that helps,
