- Deepen or shorten the history of a 'shallow' repository created by

- to the specified number of commits from the tip of each remote
- branch history. Tags for the deepened commits are not fetched.

--unshallow::
If the source repository is complete, convert a shallow

option alone does not subject tags to pruning, even if --prune
is used (though tags may be pruned anyway if they are also the

This option controls if and under what conditions new commits of

+-j::
+--jobs=<n>::
+ Number of parallel children to be used for fetching submodules.

--no-recurse-submodules::
Disable recursive fetching of submodules (this has the same effect as
