using the --branch parameter doesn't really pose an issue on trunk being somewhat "broken". I just re-ran the command and had no issue on a clean system (with or without --shallow-submodules) I'd say it's a relatively old git subsystem the part to blame here.
BTW: that is the "way" to save bandwith if you are fetching the code over and over to provision new servers. With old "git", nothing prevents to avoid using --depth (which I **think** it's the problem with old git versions) and just using the "full" repo (web2py, for example, weigths 35MB total vs 7MB with depth 1) OR just using a base repo and issue git checkout tags/R-x.y.z git submodule update to navigate back and forth.
