[PATCH] git clone depth of 0 not possible.

From: Stefan Beller <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:55:41

Currently it is not possible to have a shallow depth of
just 0, i.e. only one commit in that repository after cloning.
The minimum number of commits is 2, caused by depth=1.

I had no good idea how to add this behavior to git clone as
the depth variable in git_transport_options struct (file transport.h)
uses value 0 for another meaning, so it would have need changes at
all places, where the transport options depth is being used 
(e.g. fetch)

So I documented the current behavior, see attached patch.
