Do you perhaps mean non-resumable *clone* (a checkout is a local
operation in git, so it's hardly likely to be interrupted unless
there's a power failure or something).

If you do, there is a way to do this with git:

server side
  - create a bundle file: git bundle create project.bdl --all
  - set that single file up for resumable download (HTTP or rsync or whatever)

client side
  - download that file perhaps to /tmp
  - clone from it: git clone /tmp/project.bdl project
  - go into the project and set the remote properly: git remote rm
origin; git remote add origin <your.official.git.repo.url>

hope that helps; sorry if you really meant non-resumable checkout but
IME this is a more common problem
