Why?  Does the history goes over the wire compressed?  Downloading the
tarball is considerably faster than cloning for me, witness:

~/tmp $ time git clone -q git://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git

real    0m29.432s
user    0m9.430s
sys     0m1.110s

~/tmp $ time wget -q http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-snapshot-git.tar.bz2

real    0m6.659s
user    0m0.060s
sys     0m0.240s
