Note that I have no use for shallow clones myself, since I really like to 
have the complete history around. 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".

Ciao,
Dscho
