Josh: Get the advantages of a monorepo with multirepo setups

Partial clone with the --filter feature seems complicated to use. You need to use a bunch of command to set it up and then it looks like you still need to be careful while using it.

I'd dream of somethong as simple as

   git clone --partial foo/bar https://example.com/some.repo.git

And then everything would work normally.

Your dream came true ;) This is what Josh does:

  git clone https://example.com/some.repo.git:/foo/bar.git

And then everything works normally.
