Is there a way to fetch a single file from remote repo without
creating a client repo?
I want to do something like
  git show --repo git://repo.or.cz/bla.git master:/somedir/file.txt

I think I have found it:
git archive --remote=http://62.24.64.27/r/msysgit.git
master:share/GitMe setup-msysgit.sh | tar -x
