I don't think so. When we run the same thing under protocol v1, we get the following: $ git -c protocol.version=1 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012 Cloning into 'git'... fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly even though the following does work: $ git -c protocol.version=1 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=2015-10-12 Cloning into 'git'... remote: Enumerating objects: 93982, done. ... which suggests to me that the non-dashed form is invalid. Thanks, Denton
