No. If "git clone" does not work for you, the compilation failed. Do you run git in-place? Then you _have_ to set

	bindir=$(pwd)

in config.mak. Otherwise, the git wrapper (you wrote "git-clone", but then you used "git clone") will look in $(HOME)/bin for your executables, and I bet that you have the other (official) git installed there.

For now, shallow clones only work with the git protocol, i.e. via git-daemon and ssh.
