Limits

These are deliberate scope decisions for version 0.1, not permanent ones.

• Public repositories only. Smart HTTP authentication is usually just HTTP Basic auth, so private repository support will be a small addition later.
• Read only. No push, no working tree, no index, no merge machinery.
• No history. Fetches are always depth 1. Walking commit history would require negotiation support that is not implemented.
• SHA-1 only. Repositories configured for SHA-256 object IDs are rejected during ref discovery with a clear error.
• Snapshot sized downloads. See how it works. Partial clone filters over protocol v2 are the planned fix for very large repositories.
