Hi Elliot,
as far as I know, git does not support cloning only part of a repository (you can checkout only parts of it, but need to clone the entire history anyway). However, I think these people have all the answers for you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7106012/download-a-single-folder-or-direc...
In short: Since GitHub allows you to access repositories via svn, you can simply use svn export to extract a clean subdirectory.
Otherwise you would use `git archive` for similar tasks; it creates compressed files from arbitrary trees (e. g., git archive -o build.linux32ARMv6.zip HEAD:build.linux32ARMv6, where HEAD can be any revision). git archive also has a --remote option, which seems to allow one to do similar things like svn export on remote repositories, but GitHub does not support that. See this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/15983139/383568
Best regards, Jakob
