Vladimir Kotikov commented on CB-11144:
---------------------------------------

I think it is safe until we're not going to check out a specific commit for 
this repo. In this case we do need to clone the whole history and then do 'git 
checkout <SHA>'.

Though, if branch or tag is specified as a git ref, we do not need for the 
history, since we could use '--branch' flag for 'git clone' 

> Make Git fetches faster for plugin, platforms, and templates by using --depth 
> 1

> Some users are complaining that some plugin git repos are too big, and the 
> plugin is not available thru npm
> So people installing the plugin it can take up to 20 minutes to install a 
> plugin because Cordova CLI it's doing a full git clone of the repo.
> I was wondering if the flag --depth 1 would make it faster by fetching just 
> the last copy of the repo on the specified git hash, hash can be branch, or 
> tag, or commit hash
> Going to ask to the mailing list to see of using --depth 1 is a good and safe 
> change?
