While I hope Git grows support for "partial clones" (or more likely is

`elpa-diffs` will be spammed with irrelevant commit to the non-Emacs
part of Notmuch, for example, and `package-vc` will still have to
download the 10MB of Notmuch's repository just to get at the relevant
0.5MB.
Do you know if this is being worked on?  Does it even fit into Git's
internal model?
I don't think so, no.


Could this help?
