I made a very tiny patch to the `in` script that creates a bare repo in `/tmp` if it doesn't exist then clone using that as a reference into the required destination.\r\n\r\nThis doesn't seem to work because I guess the `get` container doesn't have any kind of persistence / sharing for a given version at all?\r\n\r\nCloning is prohibitively expensive for the repository that I would like to use concourse with. Any advice on either a) how I could implement this kind of resource myself, or b) an upstream fix would be greatly appreciated."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/concourse/concourse/issues/comments/230098906","html_url":"https://github.com/concourse/concourse/issues/505#issuecomment-230098906","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/concourse/concourse/issues/505","id":230098906,"user":{"login":"concourse-bot","id":13429001,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/13429001?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/concourse-bot","html_url":"https://github.com/concourse-bot","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/concourse-bot/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/concourse-bot/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/concourse-bot/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/concourse-bot/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/concourse-bot/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/concourse-bot/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/concourse-bot/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/concourse-bot/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/concourse-bot/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-07-02T12:13:54Z","updated_at":"2016-07-02T12:13:54Z","body":"Hi there!\n\nWe use Pivotal Tracker to provide visibility into what our team is working on.
