Intermittent Git pathspec error when passing depth with ref, seems the files are being downloaded but it throws the error afterwards

It seems random. It works for some repos and not for others. I checked that I could manually get the same ref using git clone --depth 1 --branch v0.0.1 git@github.com:my/module.git and it worked fine ....
