It also makes for a nice distributed backup solution. The reasons I did it: - 'cause I could - I think it is important for other people (this means you, Jon) - I suggested lazy clones as an easy way out, but I am now convinced that they introduce more problems than they solve. Therefore I wanted to make good for the confusion I helped develop. Since I do not have any use for shallow clones myself, I am waiting for people to jump on it, test it, and shout "Hooray" or "Nacknacknack".
