What you call “the N-number” is literally the depth of your repository. If you clone with --depth=5 then it will show up as 5. You can test it yourself with `git rev-list --first-parent --count HEAD`. A full clone is less than 3 GB, though, and if you're on ZFS, you can save quite a bit by making /usr/src and /usr/obj separate datasets and turning on compression.
