Don't be too downhearted.  I am certainly looking forward to using shallow 
clones; but by their very nature they are going to be used on big established 
projects (otherwise why would one need a shallow clone?), so until those 
projects upgrade their servers the news will be quiet

Also; it's probably going to be casual developers that find shallow clones 
useful, as the main developers will clone the whole repository.  This might 
also mean that they aren't going to be around on the git mailing list.

I certainly wouldn't say that the shallow clone work is not being appreciated.  
It's just being appreciated quietly.
