Comment (by knarf):
I have to back up Eric here. The decision about the shallow clone was done as a group consensus a while back. The speed and space improvements of shallow clones are, as Eric mentioned, not insignificant. Developers need full clones, otherwise commits will not work, so it wasn't enabled for them. I can also see your points Bruno though, and agree that there probably should be an option for this, and we can argue about it's default value, for anonymous clones. I don't understand the argument about the private repositories though. Is there a reason for someone not to use authenticated access to their own repositories?
