Merge branch 'sb/clone-shallow-passthru'

gitster · gitster · commit 9f1027d18a23 · 2016-07-06T13:38:13.000-07:00
Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth"
that recurses down to submodules by forcing the submodules to also
be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream
of the submodules are not prepared for.

  clone: do not let --depth imply --shallow-submodules
