Two problems:
a) IIRC depth = 0 is like not specifying depth at all
b) When using plain paths, clone optimizes the process by just doing a
copy, that doesn't apply the depth setting at all

git clone --depth=1 file://$PWD/repo1 repo2

That should work. Of course you still got some commits, so "git log"
will show them. You just don't get all of them, but only to a certain
depth.
