Partial checkouts aren't really workable with git, unfortunately. [1] From experience, though, we're only talking on the order of 500M or so for a complete git checkout with all history, which corresponds fairly nicely with the 460M that my complete CVS checkout requires. Can anyone who currently uses partial checkouts comment whether a 500M one time checkout would be a burden?
