Git shallow clone does not work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Starting with build#637 the CI build fails to clone the repository.
https://spray.ci.cloudbees.com/job/spray-ci-build/637/

Found http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=5753 indicating a 
similar problem.

Executing this command line fails also locally:
<pre>
git clone --progress -o origin --depth 1 
https://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/spray/
</pre>

In the Advanced section in the Git configuration of Jenkins the option "Use
