pushing from a shallow repo allowed?

git-clone(1):
	A shallow repository has a number of
        limitations (you cannot clone or fetch from it, nor push from nor
        into it)

This and other documentation (shallow.txt, RelNotes-1.5.0.txt) says you can't push from a shallow repo. But in a simple test of making a commit to a shallow repo and pushing it out, it seems to work. AFAICS, git only guards against pushes *into* a shallow repo, and fetching/cloning from a shallow repository.

Are the docs out of date, or is there really still some problem with pushing from a shallow repo?

BTW, --depth seems to be ignored when making a local clone. This seems to have been fixed in the old shell git-clone in d4110a9726c7cd5cda35b7dd03dc8f85fe3dff0c, was it accidentially lost in the C version?
