I think git clone --depth 1 would be enough to generate the orig tar
ball and determine the version.

Bug#871983: cache the downloaded files

[Pirate Praveen]

package: dh-make-golang
severity: wishlist


currently dh-make-golang downloads/clones repos every time it is run. It
would be better to allow caching as an option so you can reuse the
already downloaded copies. This is useful when you don't have a fast
internet connection (my personal case, I have to run dh-make-golang on a
server after sshing).

Would it also be possible to not clone the entire history?
