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?

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

Awesome.  That does work.

thanks,

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.
