Hi all,
       Due to mistake on my part, I accidently removed flare-game repo and it's sometime that it has been removed .

Now AFAIK the repo. has grown big, it's almost 500 MB or a little bit more in size and my network is pretty unstable. I searched on the web and found two ways in which I could clone without trying to do the full clone at one go.

1. Cloning with depth

    git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-game.git

and go on increasing the depth using git-fetch as shared in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6802145/convert-shallow-clone-to-full.... Now I don't know till what depth this approach will work ? as well as if there are downsides to this approach.

2. Making a git-bundle :-  One another way is if somebody makes a git-bundle [1] but do not know how that works. The simplest way I could understand it IF I'm understanding it right is it packs whatever is in .git directory of any given repo. which has the commit messages and other things which tells the structure of the repo. and what happened when and by whom.

And then I can incrementally fetch all the objects in the repo. But again how to do that is again somewhat. I do know it involves git fetch but nothing beyond that.

If anybody has explored either of the options before would be nice to hear about it.

Lastly this is my git version .

     $ git --version
     git version 1.8.4.rc2

Looking forward to knowing more.
