title: How do I clone a subdirectory only of a Git repository?
body: <p>I have my Git repository which, at the root, has two sub directories:</p>
  <pre><code>/finisht
  /static
  </code></pre>
  <p>When this was in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion" rel="noreferrer">SVN</a>, <code>/finisht</code> was checked out in one place, while <code>/static</code> was checked out elsewhere, like so:</p>
  <pre><code>svn co svn+ssh://admin@domain.example/home/admin/repos/finisht/static static
  </code></pre>
  <p>Is there a way to do this with Git?</p>
