Clone just the stable and one other branch in git?

I'm just getting started with git and I have a question. My app has 10 other developers working on it, each one having their own branch like dev_XXXXX. So if I do a clone of the repository, do all of their code gets copied to my machine? In that case I dont want that. Suppose my branch is dev_swamy, how do I then clone just the stable branch and dev_swamy? Thanks.
