Just to note that Git has support for partial checkout. Maybe this would
help transition. As it is a common misconception I'd like to mention
that Git support /partial checkout/ and NOT /partial fetch/. That is,
the whole repository is fetched and you can just checkout the part that
you want to work on. This is hardly a problem as the network support in
Git is very efficient.
