So how do I make a shallow clone?  I've set it all up, but there is no
git-shallow-clone command, and git help clone doesn't have anything either.

Try "git clone --depth 1 <url>". This will cut each ancestor chain after one ancestor (IIRC).

I think you mean git-clone.sh instead of git-clone. If I do the above command, I get:

$ ./git clone --depth 1 git://127.0.0.1/temp/u-boot-83xx/
Usage: /home/b04825/bin/git-clone [--template=<template_directory>] [--use-separate-remote] [--reference <reference-repo>] [--bare] [-l [-s]] [-q] [-u <upload-pack>] [--origin <name>] [-n] <repo> [<dir>]

However, git-clone.sh is not quite working either. I had to run git-daemon on my machine, because git-clone.sh doesn't like the http protocol, and my firewall blocks everything but that. So I cloned a repo, started git-daemon, and I tried this:

$ ./git-clone.sh --depth 1 git://127.0.0.1/temp/u-boot-83xx
usage: git-fetch-pack [--all] [-q] [-v] [-k] [--thin] [--exec=upload-pack] [host:]directory <refs>...
fetch-pack from 'git://127.0.0.1/temp/u-boot-83xx/' failed.

A regular git-clone of git://127.0.0.1/temp/u-boot-83xx works, so I think there's something wrong with git-clone.sh or my invocation thereof.
