One big advantage of git over tarballs for me is that it's easier to script
a vim setup if you're just cloning repos. Far fewer steps than downloading
the tarballs, unpacking them, removing them, etc. Also, updating is much
easier with git.
So for my money `git clone --depth=1` is easier. Now that you can fetch
from these "shallow" repos, it's also easy to update them (use --depth=1
again when pulling). I had never thought of this option before. Thanks for
the tip.
Best, Peter
