Description
Upgrading GIT to 2.16.2 will allow 2 advantages (there are others - see release notes):
- Uploading or fetching a large # of tags in a commit is substantially quicker.
- 2.x and later support the --shallow-since CLONE option:
#!python
$ git clone https://my-repo --shallow-since="2016-10-01"
Cloning into 'myrepo'...
fatal: Server does not support --shallow-since
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
