git bundles available over resumable http(s) can help a lot with that, but they are almost never provided.
I think this is a fair enough request, and maybe quite straightforward to arrange. Do you already have some scripts to create a bundle every now and then, that you could contribute?
Sorry, I don't have any scripts to contribute. It seems like it doable with just a cron job running a git bundle create command and having it put it on a file server. I'm sure there would be more involved then that though.
Board status was particularly bad, over 200 MB to clone,
Was that with git clone --depth=1 or did you clone complete history?
The board_status.sh script does a full clone and I didn't want to mess with it and have it end up trying to upload an invalid commit. Maybe it would have worked with an empty initilized local repo?
There is actually a fixme note in board_status.sh about it (line 419):
# FIXME: the board-status directory might get big over time. # Is there a way we can push the results without fetching the # whole repo?
