Would it be possible to add a --depth flag to ipbb add git?
There are some repositories, for example gbt-fpga, which is necessary to instantiate LGBT links in EMP, have some very large files in the git history. If git clone is ran manually with --depth 1, then these files are not downloaded, saving disk space and time.
I would propose either adding a flag to the command to set the depth, or by default to clone repositories with the depth set to 1 as I feel that this would be the most common use of the command.
