title: how to checkout git branches jenkins gui edits of last 5 days from master repo
body: <p>Team,</p>
  <p>I am trying to search for a string that was checked by a user by manually editing jenkins gui configuration . whenever we save this gui configuration, there is a direct commit to master on gerrit. Now, I want to search all the last 3 days of commits that happened to see who made that.</p>
  <p>so when i do below, it takes for ever to download all days may be 30days of commits.</p>
  <pre><code>git clone ssh://git.team.com:29111/jenkins_configuration
  </code></pre>
  <p>is there a paraeter here i can say</p>
  <pre><code>--since 3d
  </code></pre>
  <p>such that it downloads only those commits and saves some time?</p>
  <p>output:</p>
  <pre><code>Cloning into 'jenkins_configuration'...
  remote: Counting objects: 204746,
  </code></pre>
  <p>expected output</p>
  <pre><code>Cloning into 'jenkins_configuration' last 3 day commits...
  remote: Counting objects: xxx,
  </code></pre>
