---------------------------------
@abayer care to comment why?
Maybe this is a good reason, but this would save GBs of space for my projects.
> do shallow clone by default

> Key: JENKINS-4418
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-4418
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: git
> Affects Versions: current
> Environment: Platform: All, OS: All
> Reporter: semb
>
> When using git to clone a remote repository for a build it is not usually
> necessary to clone the full history from the remote repository - a full clone
> wastes disc space. A shallow clone is sufficient if not merging and pushing
> back. Adding -depth to the clone command line achieves this.
