Enable support for smart/shallow cloning #56

Closed hashimaziz1 closed 5 years ago

hashimaziz1 commented 5 years ago

When I do:

git -C vorbis pull 2> /dev/null || git clone --depth 1 https://git.xiph.org/vorbis.git/

...I get the following error:

fatal: dumb http transport does not support shallow capabilities

This is a huge problem as shallow cloning is the standard nowadays, and Github appears to have officially deprecated dumb cloning almost a decade ago:

Is there any chance of this being brought up to date?

We are moving away from gitosis to GitLab in the long run.

You should have more success by looking at https://gitlab.xiph.org - which is kept in sync.

Why doesn't the website make any mention of this? It has links to both the Github and SVN but not Gitlab.
