I do not need the whole branch - only a small subset of files related to distutils. I know that bazaar can't do partial checkouts - it can only fetch the whole branch. What about mercurial? Mercurial can't do it either. But I don't think it matters a lot; unless your bandwidth is very low the full clone should be fast enough. Here it takes just 150s. for the trunk.

Thanks for support. However, fetching whole branch is not an option, because Internet is expensive here - even 10Mb tarball costs 20 cents. To make matters worse I would say that it is more than 0.04% of an average salary.
