AFAIK, this feature is still missing in git but could be a great idea to be implemented. Does that sound OK to the community?

I highly suspect that it would not fly well if it is added as a part of the current protocol, as people are actively discussing how to revamp it. And I have a feeling that the v2 protocol would not ready for a student to build upon by this summer. ``` ## Duy Nguyen, 2015-03-03 01:02 Subject: Re: [GSoC idea] Resumable clone Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CACsJy8Cue%2BpxPbddkv1_yMD-SLFO4PjKgdCVX0V7YCn_kUArcQ%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 6:47 AM, Junio C Hamano wrote: > Koosha Khajehmoogahi writes: > >> Among GSoC 2011 ideas of git [1], it was proposed that a GSoC project >> could be implementing resumable clone for git.

I still want to pursue stable pack approach [1]. It's not a good fit for clone case (cached bundles would be much better). On the other hand it does not need special support like cached bundles and can work with upload-pack-v1. It might fit in gsoc scope. I guess whether it may have a chance to get merged after gsoc is the deciding factor. > I highly suspect that it would not fly well if it is added as a part > of the current protocol, as people are actively discussing how to > revamp it.
