git svn clone [http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby\_1\_9\_1](http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_1_9_1) Pulling approx 400Mb! Is there any way I can pull a smaller amount of data? I normally log in via ftp and hunt for the latest ruby-version.tar.gz. ☹ – John M. 07739 171 531 MSc (DIC) Timezone: GMT ---
