Performing RevWalk on repo without downloading entire repo [message #1846925]

Hi, is there any way to clone a repo locally and not download the actual contents of the repo, just the metadata in order to perform a RevWalk? I tried setNoCheckout() and setBare() on cloneRepository but when I ran iterated a RevWalk on that repository it was empty. Am I doing something wrong or is this just not possible?

To be clear, I want to subsequently clone the repo in full, I intend to just use RevWalk to determine which repo hash to actually clone.

Thanks
