DESCRIPTION
-----------
Create a 'shallow' clone with a history truncated to the
specified number of commits. Implies `--single-branch` unless
`--no-single-branch` is given to fetch the histories near the
- tips of all branches.
+ 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,
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
