Speaking of --depth, I think in Git 2.0 we should fix the semantics
of "deepening" done with "git fetch".

Speaking of 2.0, we should support depth per ref. Well we don't have
to wait until 2.0 because we could just add shallow2 extension to the
pack protocol. We should also apply depth to new refs when fetching
them the first time.

Would this mean I could do something along?
$ git clone --since v1.8.0 git://github.com/gitster/git.git

So tags would be allowed as anchors?
