For my understanding, I need to clone the mail fossil src site first to get a local fossil sqlite database(mytest.fsl) and then open up mytest.fsl into a local source directory tree.
For a big fossil site at the size of 10G, it will quickly used up the disk space, since clone part take 10G and check out take another 10G.
I am hoping fossil can provide a better way to resolve above challenge.
This request is purely from end user point of view.

The ability to do what we call "shallow clones" has been discussed at length over the years but fossil's features currently all assume that they have full access to all historical data. Changing that would require far-reaching changes and an as-yet inestimable amount of work.
