So my point is still valid.

These commands are done automatically in the GUI, so they're not scaring any new contributors. *shrug* I have no interest in fiddling with git. If you want to propose a patch to lily-git.tcl, we'll of course put it through the normal review process. git clone seems to suffer from the same (or a similar) problem: I'm seeing about 40% success rate with git clone --depth 1. Granted, that's better than the 10-20% success rate of git fetch, but at the moment I think that apparent difference is just random chance, rather than a significant (in terms of p-values) difference.
