Shallow fetches are no > longer possible from these bundles (at least after this commit > _and_ ":/git-bundle: avoid packing" which I just sent out). Does anybody actually use shallow clones in real life? When I did the numbers a long time ago, the shallow clone didn't actually help much, because it meant that there were no deltas. Which meant that you got 1% of the history for 60% of the price of all history, and the shallow thing didn't really seem to make much sense. I guess that for something with a really long history, you'd get 0.001% of the history for 10% of the price, and maybe it makes sense then.
