Barak Korren commented on OVIRT-1173:
-------------------------------------

Since we're typically cloning into a workspace that already contains a clone from a previous builds, I don't think the real-life benefit of using a shallow clone will be that grate. Worth checking though.

Also, wouldn't this prevent us from doing interesting things with {{git log}}, {{git show}} or {{git describe}} from inside the automation scripts?

> Most if not all the git clone of the jobs don't need history at all.
