git-clone and unreliable links?

Hello,

When using git-clone over an unreliable link (say, UMTS) and the network goes down, git-clone deletes everything what was downloaded. When the network goes up again and you restart git-clone, it has to start over from the beginning. Then, eventually, the network goes down again, and everything is deleted again.

Is there a way to omit the deleting step, so the second invocation would start where the first invocation was interrupted?
