jidanni@jidanni.orgman git-clone at --depth could also mention if updating procedures are for shallow clones just like for plain git-clones, or is there a diet way of updating too? (Not git-fetch --depth apparently.)
(The diet way would give results like one did $ rm -r .git *; git-clone --depth 1 ... all over again, but only cause a small download this time.)
jidanni@jidanni.orgRe: shallow clone, shallow fetch?
Last week I did git-clone --depth 1 This week I wanted to freshen my repository, with the same goal: "I don't care about history, just fast forward me with the least bytes transfered." But all I can find is just plain git pull. Did I achieve my goal? $ git pull remote: Counting objects: 7007, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3057/3057), done. remote: Total 7007 (delta 4280), reused 6076 (delta 3625) Receiving objects: 100% (7007/7007), 2.96 MiB | 26 KiB/s, done.

The hashes certainly agree with what I have (just did a pull this minute), except I also have a new branch called "origin/todo" at SHA1=6670008 which you seem to be missing.
I'm not familiar enough with shallow clones to draw any conclusions though :-(
