`depth` doesn't squash commits, instead of cloning the complete repository (as usually done with git), using clone depth just clones the last clone-depth-number revisions of your repository. According to [Disadvantages of shallow cloning on Travis and other CI services?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31278233/disadvantages-of-shallow-cloning-on-travis-and-other-ci-services), there are two main problems with using shallow clones: 1. Push too fast. Can you really push so fast? 2. Restart an old build. Do you have this need? For a PR can have more than 3 commits, I don't think `depth` will be an issue. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
