It is not implausible for a long running large project to restart their
history from a physical root commit every year, stiching the year-long
segments together at their ends with replacements, to make a default clone
to get a year's worth of the most recent history while allowing people to
get more by asking, no?

Of course, if you trust shallow-clones, you do not have to do that kind of
history surgery ;-).
