In Cogito world, that's the only thing that makes sense to clone, in GIT world it's more complicated (you don't always clone the whole repository there either, since git-clone-pack lets you narrow down the refs). > Extending git-fetch-pack would be the right approach if that is > what you are trying to do. I'll then try to extend git-fetch-pack instead. I'll send some fix for git-clone-pack anyway, though. ;-) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ VI has two modes: the one in which it beeps and the one in which it doesn't.
