I second Duy Nguyen's and Trần Ngọc Quân's suggestion to 1) initially
create a "shallow" clone then 2) incrementally deepen your clone.

Zhifeng, in the course of your research into resumable cloning, you
might have learnt that while it's a really valuable feature, it's also
a pretty hard problem at the same time. So it's not because git
doesn't want to have this feature.
