However, it appears as though JGit server-side support for shallow clones is relatively recent: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=394543 ...characterized here as "coming along bit by bit": http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/jgit-dev/msg01976.html ...which would imply that maybe the JGit server side stuff hasn't been tested with a lot of client versions.
