It is useful to provide the full upstream git history to users because they can use tools like `git bisect` to figure out how to fix bugs. The packaging history alone is much more coarse grained. If bandwidth is really an issue, `git clone` has a --shallow option (not directly supported by dgit, but you can `git clone` from the dgit-repos server). -- Sean Whitton
