Does anybody actually use shallow clones in real life?
When I did the numbers a long time ago, the shallow clone didn't actually
help much, because it meant that there were no deltas. Which meant that
you got 1% of the history for 60% of the price of all history, and the
shallow thing didn't really seem to make much sense.
I guess that for something with a really long history, you'd get 0.001% of
the history for 10% of the price, and maybe it makes sense then.
