I switched to "testing sparkleshare" mode. It's an error from
sparkleshare (as printed on terminal) after I followed the instructions
on wiki, I'm not making any assumptions here WRT used DE.

I can if I work with git directly (and I do so already for e.g. the
backgrounds, echo-icon-theme, fedora packaging, ...), but I don't know,
how to do that with SparkleShare.

That's a separate problem from what I've been discussing in this mail,
sorry for the little mix-up. So to better explain the two
separate problems:
 * since the repo is big, I want, when using sparkleshare, to clone it
   to location specified by me (pointing to extern HDD where I have
   enough space). Yes, I can workaround that with bind mounts but I'd
   expect more user-friendly solution from such app.
 * for the backgrounds I'd like to have a smaller repo
   (fedora-backgrounds is OK with me) that does not have the files
   supposed to be worked on with sparkleshare.

You can download individual files from the cgit web interface already,
but you cannot push unless you have full clone. I'm not sure I follow
what are you trying to achieve here.

Won't happen again, sorry, I had to write it somewhere after
discovering it (hence the [OT RANT] pseudo-tag)...
