No, you are right. I am trying to reduce the size of the
tree by splitting components of the huge branch into
sub-branches.
Being able to pull those sub-branches without pulling the
main branch is "another" problem. In practice, however, it
is the same problem because the initial pull of the original
branch takes about a day.
So I really need a way to pull a branch without pulling all
its history.
Would it help if the sub-branch had an "initial" commit? A
commit without ancestor? Then I could do:
monotone --branch=new.branch commit 'initial version'
monotone propagate huge.branch new.branch
Would that work?
