The problem occurs to me also when I want to "deepen" a shallow clone of MediaWiki via https://

 git clone --depth 1 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git
 git pull --depth=99999
fatal: git fetch-pack: expected shallow list.
Perhaps it helps someone to find the reason.
UPDATE:
This however works
 git clone --depth=2 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git
 git fetch --depth=5
