Ted Nyman – High Performance Git (gitperf.com)
snthpy 31 minutes ago [-]
I've been wanting to ask this:

Why isn't

    git clone --depth 1 ... 
the default?

I would guess that for at least 90% of the repos I clone, I just want to install something. Even for the rest, I might hack on the code but seldom look into the history. If I do then I could do a `git fetch` at that point and save the bandwidth and disk space the rest of the time.

A question: why is git involved at all in this? You don't want a repository.
