As Jgit supports it now. What we really want is treeless clones as described here:

https://github.blog/2020-12-21-get-up-to-speed-with-partial-clone-and-shallow-clone/

however that is not available, which is why we support shallow clones for now.

Acceptance Criteria¶

• There is a configuration property gitcr.depth that can be used to specify a cloning depth (i.e. corresponding to --depth and hence using 1 leads to a shallow clone).
• The fix is merged into master
