does clone --depth work?

From: Dan Carpenter <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:47:47

I do: `git clone --depth 0 ./repo1/ repo2`  I expected that 
"git log" in repo2 wouldn't show any revisions, but it does.

I'm using 1.6.5.3.171.ge36e.dirty (small unrelated modification).

Am I doing something incorrectly?

regards,
dan carpenter

Two problems:
a) IIRC depth = 0 is like not specifying depth at all
b) When using plain paths, clone optimizes the process by just doing a
copy, that doesn't apply the depth setting at all

git clone --depth=1 file://$PWD/repo1 repo2

That should work. Of course you still got some commits, so "git log"
will show them. You just don't get all of them, but only to a certain
depth.

Awesome.  That does work.
