What you are trying to do is called a sparse checkout, and that feature was added in git 1.7.0 (Feb. 2012). The steps to do a sparse clone are as follows:

git init <repo>
cd <repo>
git remote add -f origin <url>
This creates an empty repository with your remote. Then do:

git config core.sparsecheckout true
Now you need to define which files/folders you want to actually check out. This is done by listing them in .git/info/sparse-checkout, eg:

Typical reaction formulae for misandrists

####1. "Wow, just wow."

This is the #1 goto for misandrists. It discourages any actual logical discussion, and just implies that the person you are talking to is so ignorant that it is, somehow, totally impossible for you to hold any sort of fruitful discussion with them.
