repo sync pull only OMAP5 relevant code/branches

Hi, following the instructions here http://omapedia.org/wiki/Panda5AJ.1.5.1_Release_Notes for checking out the code, once you get to the "repo sync" command, it appears to checkout hundreds of git submodules, including every branch ever created within any of those repositories.

This is a huge download.  I'm already at 12G, and I still have not finished the repo sync command.

android@ubuntu:~/omap5/5AJ.1.5.1/mydroid$ du -d1 -h
12G ./.repo
12G .

Is it possible to configure the repo tool to only download the relevant branches and git submodules that are applicable for the distribution built in the release notes above?

    Hi Davis,

    It isnt possible to conserve space so easily  when need to build android file system and repo does not support shallow repositories. So basicly it isnt worth the effort.  Keep in mind that when you start to build you will need also space. So if you are using Virtual PC keep in mind all that space that is required.
