Use git clone –depth=1 –branch=master git://someserver/somerepo dirformynewrepo rm -rf ./dirformynewrepo/.git The depth option will make sure to copy the least bit of history possible to get that repo. The branch option is optional and if not specified would get the default branch. The second line will make your directory dirformynewrepo not a Git repository any … Read more
You can specify the remote’s URL by applying the UNC path to the file protocol. This requires you to use four slashes: git clone file:////<host>/<share>/<path> For example, if your main machine has the IP 192.168.10.51 and the computer name main, and it has a share named code which itself is a git repository, then both … Read more

Two solutions (or rather workarounds) that come to mind are: Use shallow clone i.e. git clone –depth=1, then deepen this clone using git fetch –depth=N, with increasing N. You can use git fetch –unshallow (since 1.8.0.3) to download all remaining revisions. Ask somebody to bundle up to some tagged release (see git-bundle(1) manpage). The bundle … Read more
I had the same problem on the Mac after cloning a repository. It would assume all files had been changed. After running git config –global core.autocrlf input, it was still marking all files as changed. After looking for a fix I came across .gitattributes file in the home directory which had the following. * text=auto … Read more

The documentation now reads: –depth <depth>:: Create a ‘shallow’ clone with a history truncated to the specified number … Read more
