+Do you have git-annex available on the server from the command line?
+
+If so, the easiest way would probably be to clone the repo in git, and do a \"git annex init\" in it. This would give you a copy of the repo with none of the files in it. It would be tiny, just full of symlinks, no content. Then pull down copies of *only* the individual files you need using \"git annex get.\"
+
+Maybe set that repo to \"untrusted\" to make sure other repos don't start depending on it to store copies of files to fulfill numcopies.
+
+When you're done with a copy of a file, just \"git annex drop\" it again so it disappears from this skeletal repo.
