Partial checkouts aren't really workable with git, unfortunately. [1]
From experience, though, we're only talking on the order of 500M or so
for a complete git checkout with all history, which corresponds fairly
nicely with the 460M that my complete CVS checkout requires.
Can anyone who currently uses partial checkouts comment whether a 500M
one time checkout would be a burden? [Is this just a matter of better
tools for people doing translations?]
1: Using submodules would cause more trouble then it's worth, because
you couldn't have a single commit span the entire website; you'd have to
break it into individual commits.

mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes
from being corrected.
