git_shallow_clone allows you to do a clone that doesn't fetch the entire history of the repo, which is the default for cloning. it is something like 'svn export'. I recommend using 'deploy_via :remote_cache' instead - you can't use both together - but I have used it for 'deploy_via :copy' setups or for setups where you do not want to use a 'deploy_via' method at all. In those cases, it can significantly speed up the clone.
