let's you get a subset of all the history, and if a patch refers to a really
old revision you don't have, will go get that and its dependencies. It's
like a lazy-repository. At least I think that's how it works, or that's how
it's been explained to me.
Is there a way to git a partial repository or hg a partial repository?
