Rockbox is becoming a mountain of endless regressions.  Git is one of them.

Yes, we're jerks. That's *exactly* why we switched to git. Glad to see it worked out.

You just don't know how frustrating it is to get stuck downloading this thing time after time.

Which of course justifies calling people "jerks" for technical problems they are not responsible for. Thanks.

Your way of dealing with the case that you have problems with git justifies only one answer to this: no thanks. I'm not putting it in words similar to the ones you chose since I would consider that inappropriate (as I do with your language).

Apart from the fact that you've already been told that this is a git problem and a way to work around it: how are we supposed to solve a problem that lies within git if we're not developing git?

torne:
Cloning with --depth=1 only needs to download 89MB, if that helps any. You will need to fetch the rest of history with git fetch --depth=some_larger_number before you can actually push (you can do this in stages by fetching with increasingly large depths until there's no more of history to download), but you can look at the source at least. The total amount downloaded will be much larger, as the packs can't be compressed as efficiently :/

If I knew of something else I could do to make this easier, I would try, but I don't. I'm sure it is very frustrating; talk to git people, and if you find out something we could do, then let us know.

sss:
Yesterday I managed to get the download (or "clone") to finish completely, before that the operation would stop after about 20-50%.

For anyone else having this problem, don't forget about the stable source archive here:

I think that suggestion would have been a good one.
