Git sparse checkout based on VCS url
Is it possible to execute a sparse checkout based on the full remote URL path to a folder within a Git repo? Similarly to how go get ... works. Might be related to #68
Similarly to how
go get ...works.
Can you elaborate, in what way is go get related to sparse checkouts?
I may be mistaken ... but basically I'd like to clone something like this github.com/org/repo/tree/master/subdir1
@anweiss if you go get github.com/org/repo/tree/master/subdir1 it will clone and checkout all of github.com/org/repo. With git you can't clone just part of a repo and checking out a subdirectory is unusual and hard. go get does the whole repo.
