mkdir adium-trunk-only && cd adium-trunk-only
git init
git remote add origin git://repo.or.cz/adiumx.git
git fetch origin trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
git checkout --track -b master refs/remotes/trunk

[swap the git:// URL for "http://repo.or.cz/r/adiumx.git" if you're
behind a tight firewall]

That'll give you just the trunk branch. It's still most of it, though
(18483 commits dating back to 2002), and you end up with 592 MB for
the local repo, 108 MB for the checkout, so 700 MB in total.

If you don't care too much about the history, I could make another
repository that only has commits since, say, AdiumX 1.0, which would
cut it down to only about 2600-odd commits, but that would only have
history from February 2007.
