I'm not sure what reaction you expect, but this is something a lot of our occasional Wine users are requesting. The Wine full history is 80Mb, and that's a big download if you just want to try a quick patch. Now of course you won't see these users around here hacking on shallow clone, most likely they just went and downloaded Wine from the CVS mirror instead. But it's a shame to have to maintain a CVS mirror just for that purpose...

Sorry, I was just mumbling about the fact that I would _like_ to hear back about successes and failures. If there are problems I want to fix them.
