Comment:

 The shallow clone is only used for anonymous checkouts. This way users
 will have a quicker checkout time, but developers will get the full
 history of the repository. This should not be an issue with git as the
 read-only git://xxx URL can go in !URL, whereas the authenticated git at xxx
 URL can go in !AUTH_URL. I could also add a --[no-]shallow-clone option,
 but I think this would be superfluous.
