Note that '--depth 1' results in a faster initial download, but it has
a number of disadvatages - you can't clone it into another tree of yours,
nor can you push or pull from it.  And most notably, you can't use it
for a git bisect.

I'd recommend biting the bullet, and doing a full clone (you only have to
do that the first time - the next time, even if you need a new copy of the
tree, you can clone your original for the basis and not have to refetch it).
