An update on the shallow clone: git keeps a compressed pack of the data in addition to the working copy. When cloning the current fgdata git repository from the map server with depth 1 this overhead adds up to about 1 GB. More overhead than I hoped for but still less than what one would get with SVN. It is possible to create and work on local branches even in a shallow clone.
