some days ago I tried to checkout the whole QT 4.7 repository from
gitorious.org by using following command:
git clone git://gitorious.org/+qt-haiku/qt/qt-haiku-port.git qt-
haiku-port
There were about 5-6 attempts that failed at ~50~60~80%% of
completeness. Finally I spent more than one hour of time and circa
thrice of original traffic to get the sources. Note that it was on
normal quality DSL line. May be I did something wrong?
I did such a clone operation and in that case the directory remained
present so that I could cd into it and continue with `git pull`. Did
you not try, or was it gone like I reported from Mercurial?
Are there any other ways to initial checkout the repository beside
this "whole at once" conception?
Yes. You can create an empty repository (git init), configure the
remote (git remote add remotename url), fetch the branch you are
interested in (git fetch remotename branchname) and check it out as a
local branch (git checkout -b yourbranch remotename/branchname).
Has Mercurial the same design flaw during initial cloning
repositories?
To me it appeared to handle it worse by not allowing an incremental
download and by not showing any numerical progress at all.
