Subject: [PATCH] nix-prefetch-git: Remove `--depth' argument since it's risky.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The `--depth' argument asks Git to fetch the last revisions of the given
repo on *any* branch, which is often useless.

Thanks to Lluís Battle for clarifying this.
