I suspect we'll find that the vast majority of packages work fine with --depth=1, and the remaining cases should just use a full checkout to avoid creating fragile assumptions that may work today and break tomorrow.Could --shallow-since= (one month ago, or one year ago) be another possible thing to consider?
I recommend: --filter=blob:none Cheers Jochen
