You're welcome to step up and do it. On top of my head there are a few options:
- better integration with git bundles, provide a way to seamlessly
create/fetch/resume the bundles with "git clone" and "git fetch"
- shallow/narrow clone. the idea is get a small part of the repo, one
depth, a few paths, then get more and more over many iterations so if
we fail one iteration we don't lose everything
- stablize pack order so we can resume downloading a pack
- remote alternates, the repo will ask for more and more objects as
you need them (so goodbye to distributed model)
