That seems quite useful, though Git LFS mostly does the job.
One of my biggest remaining pain points is resumable clone/fetch. I find it near impossible to clone large repos (or fetch if there were lots of new commits) over a slow, unstable link, so almost always I end up cloning a copy to a machine closer to the repo, and rsyncing it over to my machine.
- hinkley 7y agoWhat’s your take on this line? > Partial Clone is a new feature of Git that replaces Git LFS and makes working with very large repositories better by teaching Git how to work without downloading every file.
- microtherion 7y agoI believe partial clone makes the situation a little better, but it's not nearly as good as resumable cloning, because you have to partition your repo in advance.
