Ok, I did that, and it worked. I think I may be on the path to 
enlightenment.

One thing still confuses me. Over the lifetime of a project, there could be 
many thousands of changesets. Some of those could be tagged as 'major 
releases'. Someone wishing to clone the project from scratch may want to 
start from the latest major release, and not download every changeset since 
the project started.

How is this handled in practice?

Thanks

Frank
