Re: [git-users] Re: git tree subfolder workflow
I do not think it's possible to only clone a part of a repo. That being said, I have not experimented with subtree nor submodule. Have you look into that yet? i've looked into submodule i don't think that's what i need. i need to look at subtree. btw, i tried cloning to local disk running git inside a cygwin, guess what i still see the same problem, atleast on nfs, 'git log' was fast, now even 'git log' takes too long, i'm not sure if cygwin is to blame here. thanks for your responses.

I have no experience to say that when pushing back to the nfs repo would be any faster if you could clone only a directory. Hope that helps a little.

[git-users] Re: git tree subfolder workflow
Is the size of all directories a concern at all? yes, it is, to clone a full repo to my local disk it is taking more than an hour. original problem: the server where i clone is on nfs and git is too slow on nfs, even a simple 'git status' on a local folder is taking 2~3 mins. so somebody suggested to clone the tree on to a local disk. since the bulk of my work is only on a single folder, i want to try this approach. if it's even allowed ?

In other words, can you explain the problems you are trying to avoid? I worked with big repos and cloning is slow, but then branching, commit and push is fast, so maybe you are trying to do something different?
