What Linus has already said...

This is the second time this week the issue came up, so maybe
"large bundled repository, whose users typically are interested
in only one branch" may not be so uncommon as I first expected.
An optional form of 'git-clone' that clones only from a limited
subset of branches might be useful.

The underlying network transfer program, 'git-clone-pack', can
be told to clone only specified branches.  If somebody is
interested, updating the 'git-clone' wrapper to use it should
not be too hard -- obviously this needs to be done for other
transports as well, though.
