Subject: fetching a single commit from remote repo
Message-ID: <1530970.y9vPlhFxz8@yoush.homelinux.org>

Hello.

I'm looking for a way to fetch a single snapshot, without history, from
remote git repository.

I've found how to do it with a head (clone --depth 1, or fetch --depth 1).

Is it possible to do the same with non-head and non-tagged commit, if only
sha1 name of the commit is known?
Looks like fetch and fetch-pack only take ref names :(
