Description
Not much of an "issue", I only made it as such because I couldn't find a discussions tab in here.
I was wondering if there is a way to achieve the command-line equivalent of git clone --filter=blob:none ..., I have dug around the sources of this amazing library but couldn't find anything that supported this.
Would be cool if somebody guided me through how to achieve this or if it's possible at all.
Sorry if an issue isn't the appropriate way to discuss this!

Research direction
Start by tracing the git2-rs source areas that expose repository cloning and compare them with the command-line git clone --filter=blob:none behavior described here. Determine whether the existing bindings can express this filter, and document the supported path or the missing API needed to provide equivalent behavior.
