Re: mk/git-package.mk and "--depth 1"

  Due to option "--depth 1" some packages based on git-package.mk
  fail to build like this

      fatal: dumb http transport does not support --depth

  Can I commit the following?

I am not a git black belt, but I believe '--depth 1' is intended to
avoid copying lots of unnecessary stuff.  So I wonder if it's a bug in
git that some packages flame out, and if there should be some specific
workaround for them instead of always fetching everything.
