You could manually download big packed bundled from some http remote. For example http://repo.or.cz/r/linux.git

* create a new repository, add the remote there.
* download files with wget or whatever:
 http://repo.or.cz/r/linux.git/objects/info/packs
also files mentioned in the file. Currently they are:
 http://repo.or.cz/r/linux.git/objects/pack/pack-3807b40fc5fd7556990ecbfe28a54af68964a5ce.idx
 http://repo.or.cz/r/linux.git/objects/pack/pack-3807b40fc5fd7556990ecbfe28a54af68964a5ce.pack
and put them to the corresponding places.
* then run fetch of pull. I believe it should run fast then. Though I
have not test it.
