good point, even in the U.S the midwest is still on dialup outside of
the major metro regions. I am on broad-band so I never checked if git
has a "resume" option to continue a clone operation that is interrupted,
or if that is integral to clone.

The second, third world is also a consideration e.g The current architect
of the parrot project lives somewhere in Africa. There is alot of talent
outside of the regions that are blinding on a connectivity map. 

Another thing that has not been mentioned is the usefulness of dropping
or limiting history. I made a slight mistake in the arguments to git
log and I ended up with a 23 Mb log buffer that went back to the 'mid 90's.

Some potential pitfalls to consider. I don't think they are show-stoppers
but they are scenarios that need consideration.
