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. -- Pascal Obry -- gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key F949BD3B
