shallow clone, shallow fetch?

shallow clone, shallow fetch?

[jidanni]

man git-clone at --depth could also mention if updating procedures are
for shallow clones just like for plain git-clones, or is there a diet
way of updating too? (Not git-fetch --depth apparently.)

(The diet way would give results like one did
$ rm -r .git *; git-clone --depth 1 ...
all over again, but only cause a small download this time.)

Last week I did git-clone --depth 1 This week I wanted to freshen my
repository, with the same goal: "I don't care about history, just
fast forward me with the least bytes transfered." But all I can find
is just plain git pull. Did I achieve my goal?

The hashes certainly agree with what I have (just did a pull
this minute), except I also have a new branch called
"origin/todo" at SHA1=6670008 which you seem to be missing.

I'm not familiar enough with shallow clones to draw any
conclusions though :-(
