Subject: Bug or just a mistake : --shallow-exclude parameter behavior anomalies in Git 2.45.2: "no commits selected" and "ambiguous deepen-not" errors
Message-ID: <2025022016263355354612@163.com>

When using git clone with --shallow-exclude parameter (specifying branch name or existing commit SHA-1), two different errors occur:




Case 1: git clone --shallow-exclude=master <repo-url>



Error: fatal: no commits selected for shallow requests





Case 2: git clone --shallow-exclude=ef5974fc470ad7a08f9b58dcd78724e9329910db <repo-url>



Error: git upload-pack: ambiguous deepen-not: deepen-not ef5974fc470ad7a08f9b58dcd78724e9329910db





Git Version: 2.45.2 (Confirmed on Centos 7)
