A way to have a subfolder in recipe

[Pitometsu]

Since github dropped subversion support recentrly, it becomes impossible to just download only ./emacs subdiretory with elisp for some recipes (e.g. https://github.com/ocaml/merlin).

Is it possible to use git's sparse-checkout instead at el-get recipes?

@dimitri is el-get alive?
