[issue2006] Add shallow src/pkgsrc option to /usr/Makefile


From: "John Marino \(via DragonFly issue tracker\)" <sinknull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

New submission from John Marino <dragon@marino.st>:

This "feature" tracks the need for a shallow checkout of src and pkgsrc git 
repositories.  A patch of the former follows.  Originally posted on 29 Sep 2010 
on @users:


With regards to the source code at /usr/src, there are some of us users that 
don't need the entire history of the repository going back to version 2.0, but 
rather are only looking for head revision.

Currently, typing "make src-create" will clone the entire repository, which is 
currently at 306.8K objects and has a download of 229MB (and 226K deltas).

I created a patch that adds makefile option "make src-create-shallow" which will 
set the fetch depth to 1.  When I ran this today, the object count for the head 
revision was 98.6K and took 186MB to download (58K deltas).

I know 43 MB doesn't seem like a whole lot, but some people don't fast internet 
connections and don't have commit authority, so this shallow pull might be 
desirable for them.  As time passes, the difference between a full repository 
and head pull will increase, so the benefit of such an option will increase as 
well.

My proposed patch follows.

Regards,
John
