Well, what you need to do is to implement API for partial _clone_ (we have some SPI for partial checkout, but that is slightly different beast).

Currently we have --depth=<n> to limit depth of history when cloning, and "git remote add -t <branch>" (repeated if necessary) to consider only a subset of branches, though unfortunately not in "git clone" yet.

Not what you wanted to hear, I guess... :-(
