Were you around on this list, around the beginning of this month? The thread that starts here may be of interest:

I think (although I do not exactly know how the "lite" repository was constructed) what you are doing is similar to what I called "shallow clone" there in that thread. At the end of the thread I think I listed what you can and cannot do in such an incomplete repository.
