git clone

Hi,

I have the following problem:

I started 'git clone ...' (with a very slow dial-up connection), loading 40% or so (139MB in .git/objects/tmp_pack_a4emJI), then downloading was interrupted.

How can I restart without losing the downloaded files? The User's Manual just says
"The initial clone may be time-consuming for a large project, but you will only need to clone once." but apparently it doesn't tell how to clone once if something went wrong.

Using Subversion, that was easy:

SVN git -----------------------------
svn checkout git clone
interrupt
svn checkout ???

git clone

Hello,

How can I restart without losing the downloaded files?

I found some postings stating that this is not possible. I don't know if it's true, but this may help you indirectly (depending on what you want to do):

Q: How do I do a quick clone without history revisions? A: If you just want to checkout the latest source code of a project who may has very large repo, you can use
git clone --depth 1 your_repo_url
