Hi,
Is there any way so that i can tell how much i have to download to
obtain a full clone (not a shallow one) of a respository?

Ask the repository owner to tell you?

There is no information sent by the server about size of repository,
so no, you can't really know without having the repository owner tell
you through some other side channel.
