I don't believe there is currently an option to git-clone to grab only a
single branch, so cloners in the second case would end up having to get
_all_ modules (though such an option would probably not be hard to
implement).

The plus side is that a single 'fetch' would grab updates for all
modules (with only a single connection to the server).
