DESCRIPTION

--quiet::
-q::
Operate quietly. Progress is not reported to the standard
- error stream. This flag is also passed to the `rsync'
- command when given.

--verbose::
-v::
--depth <depth>::
Create a 'shallow' clone with a history truncated to the
- specified number of revisions.
+ specified number of commits. Implies `--single-branch` unless
+ `--no-single-branch` is given to fetch the histories near the
+ tips of all branches. This implies `--shallow-submodules`. If
+ you want to have a shallow superproject clone, but full submodules,
+ also pass `--no-shallow-submodules`.
--[no-]single-branch::
Clone only the history leading to the tip of a single branch,
either specified by the `--branch` option or the primary
- branch remote's `HEAD` points at. When creating a shallow
- clone with the `--depth` option, this is the default, unless
- `--no-single-branch` is given to fetch the histories near the
- tips of all branches.
+ branch remote's `HEAD` points at.
Further fetches into the resulting repository will only update the
remote-tracking branch for the branch this option was used for the
initial cloning. If the HEAD at the remote did not point at any
repository does not have a worktree/checkout (i.e. if any of
`--no-checkout`/`-n`, `--bare`, or `--mirror` is given)
+--[no-]shallow-submodules::
+ All submodules which are cloned will be shallow with a depth of 1.
+
--separate-git-dir=<git dir>::
Instead of placing the cloned repository where it is supposed
to be, place the cloned repository at the specified directory,
The result is Git repository can be separated from working
tree.
+-j <n>::
+--jobs <n>::
+ The number of submodules fetched at the same time.
+ Defaults to the `submodule.fetchJobs` option.
<repository>::
The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. See the
