I think a semi-random switching may occur when two different ebuilds
use the same repository and have different 'minimal' modes set. For
example, ebuild A uses 'git log' magically, while the other is
completely fine with shallow clone.

Otherwise, we'd require users to ensure sync of modes between different
ebuilds using the same repo.
