Yes of course there
is a solution - but it again one thing that can go
wrong and another paramter you have to remeber and use. By the way it
would be a good thing if it would be possible to develop from TS also.
And then all the 200MB are needed, aren't they?
No, they aren't. You can happily develop from a shadow clone. You would
only have problems if someone sent you a patchset based on an old
version you didn't clone (but when working from gerrit, it won't happen).
You would of course not have the commits previous to the point you set,
so you won't be able to properly view the commit list or blame. But
that's not a big difference with svn, where those requiring downloading
the full file history from the net (I went to ViewVC for those actions).
In git they are nice with a full clone, but they won't work properly
with a shallow clone (eg. they will attribute everything “old” to the
earliest commit you cloned).
