Hi,
Thanks for tackling this. This review will be kind of nitpicky, as a
way to save time when reviewing future patches.

These lines are redundant next to the mail header, so they can and
should be omitted to avoid some noise.

Nit: commit messages usually give a command to the codebase, like
this:
When the value passed to --depth is zero or negative, instead of
treating it as infinite depth, catch and report the mistake.

Ok. Do we know that no one was using --depth=0 this way deliberately?

Based on the surrounding thread I see that you're talking about the
test script t5500 here. Which test failed? How does it use "git
fetch"? Does the change just fix the test but keep in broken in
production, or does it fix "git fetch" in production, too?

It would be nice to have a brief test to demonstrate the fix and make
sure we don't break it in the future. "grep fetch.*--depth t/*.sh"
tells me t5500 would be a good place to put it. For example,
something like
test_expect_success 'fetch catches invalid --depth values' '
(
cd shallow &&
test_must_fail git fetch --depth=0 &&
test_must_fail git fetch --depth=-2 &&
test_must_fail git fetch --depth= &&
test_must_fail git fetch --depth=nonsense
)
'
What do you think?
