Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the repository-cloning path in this Go CLI and reviewing how git clone options are assembled. Check the expected shallow-clone behavior for the optional deadline/latest-commit cases, then verify that depth 1 works without breaking existing modes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I only need the latest commit state at the deadline (optionally - #16 ), or the latest commit (optionally). With 100s of repos, a shallow clone will likely increase performance for many users of this tool.
