Message-ID: <87vdt24zz4.fsf@jidanni.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/87vdt24zz4.fsf%40jidanni.org ``` man 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.org, 2009-01-01 02:54 Subject: Re: shallow clone, shallow fetch?

But all I can find is just plain git pull.

I'm not familiar enough with shallow clones to draw any conclusions though :-( ```
