Investigate the use of git shallow clones (to build instead tarballs)
Our use case:
- We currently builds from tarballs
- We'd like to build from git for several different reasons
- Problem is that git repos can be much bigger than a simple tarball (for example, linux repo is ~2GB, 175MB with clone with --depth=1)
Downstream issue that depends on this: freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk#22
