It is not possible to do a partial clone of a repository since Git doesn't
work that way. Now, Git does have very good compression and if most of the
files there seldom changes, the bandwidth usage shouldn't really be a
problem.
If you really need to clone a specific directory, you have two solutions:
1. Make the directory a separate repository and have it as a submodule
in the parent repository. Cons: Complex and not really easy to use.
2. Don't use git for that directory; just fetch a tar.gz via HTTP. Cons:
Should be obvious. Not really a solution.
/me goes back to lurking.
