What if gitweb had, along with \"summary\",\n\"shortlog\", etc., a \"bundle\" button.  This button would link to a\nstatic bundle file.  The bundle file can be generated once a day by\ncron or some other means, and that should actually be quite sufficient\n-- you should not need more frequent updates to the bundle file.\n\nA user faced with the need for a resumable clone would then download\nthe bundle (using say wget -c or curl -C, resumable), clone from it,\nand then *fetch* from the repo.\n\nThe user would still have to take a couple of extra steps (wget,\nclone, git remote --set-url, fetch) instead of just clone, but it's\nnot too bad.\n\nThoughts?  Has this been discussed before?\n\n-- \nSitaram\n"}]}
