  <p>I'm trying to clone parts of a github project but I can only get the root folder.
  This is the first time im trying to use github and I just installed tortoisegit, im used to svn and cvs where you could just take a folder you wanted to checkout, but it seems git only got a .git file in the root folder so im not sure what to do. </p>
