If we choose not to do the off-by-one topic Junio suggested elsewhere
in the same thread, I think this document patch should be turned into
code instead. Just reject --depth=0 with an explanation. Users who are
hit by this will be caught without the need to read through the
document.
I thought --depth=0 was a way to explicitly say "I do not want any
shallow history" so far, so we would need to be a bit more careful,
though.
