Not sure that would work. For example, in all of my repos, I have massive test code. It usually far surpasses the implementation code. It would be nice to be able to clone just the one 300-line implementation file, as opposed to the several thousand lines of test code. Also, the “aggregate” workspace thing that SourceSafe used, would be a great help, for a lot of dependency hell issues.

  Well the idea would be you clone just the files you want with a partial clone, and git finds the rest for you hot as you need them
