Subject: git clone --depth and git describe
Message-ID: <201305100107.59115.sweet_f_a@gmx.de>

Hi,

I have a use case where I'd like to improve performance using "git 
clone --depth". But I also need "git describe" working on that clone.

So something like
 git clone --depth=describable
would be nice to have.

Would it be possible to add such feature?

cu,
Rudi
