I have a repo that is on Bitbucket.com and is very large (over 1Gb) - when I try to clone this using SourceTree it states it is cloning & the application hasn't crashed but it has been over an hour (my internet connection is a fast broadband so this isn't the problem).
Is there a command I can run to verify that the cloning process is working and it is just a case of waiting?
I don't think there is any built-in git tool for that. I would recommend to to check the size of .git directory.
Eg, in Linux you can do it like this:
du -sh .git
or to watch the size for live updates:
watch du -sh .git
