Comment (by eric9):
As an example of the speedup gained by shallow clones, a full clone of Carpet uses 110MB whereas a shallow clone only uses 73MB. I don't think this is insignificant, but I see your point about the arbitrary distinction between users and developers. I'll implement the shallow/no- shallow command-line option, and we can discuss what should be the default on the mailing list.
