[PATCH] clone,fetch: explain the shallow-clone option a little more clearly

From: Alex Henrie <hidden>
Date: 2016-12-04 22:17:00
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

"deepen by excluding" does not make sense because excluding a revision
does not deepen a repository; it makes the repository more shallow.
