If you don't mind cloning the entire git repo (which may be quite large in KDE case, I guess), then you may want to try "sparse checkout". The patch series is available as a topic branch "tp/sco" in this branch:

Or I can send the patch series to you. It lets you specify what part of the tree you want to checkout.
