Hi everybody,
Is it possible to git-fetch only a portion of the tree
of the specified repository, say, fetch only one directory or a
subset of files matching some regular expression? This is currently
- to my knowledge - only possible via wget iff the GIT repository
has gitweb enabled. But that's just a workaround.

Thanks for the great instrument that GIT is. Best regards.

PS: please CC me in replies, because I'm not subscribed to git ML.
