continue interrupted git clone

[benderamp]

Hi,

I'm new to git, I have been trying to get kernel source code from git
repository with the command

git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git

It has download a big part of it, but was interrupted. Now when I run
it again to get the rest part, I receive an error:

fatal: destination directory 'common' already exists.

Is there a way to get the rest source code without redownloading the
whole things again?

No.  git clone cannot be restarted.  You'll need to rm -rf common, and then restart then clone from the beginning.

Thank's very much for info - it's my time saver. It is very hard to
find something when this does not exist.
