dumb http transport does not support --depth

[Dynom]

Hi,

I'm not sure where to search on, but I did find this:

gvt/gbvendor/repo_test.go

Line 75 in b309889

path: "git.apache.org/thrift.git/lib/go/thrift",

so I'm curious about the behaviour of this particular package.

When I go get git.apache.org/thrift.git/lib/go/thrift the package is fetched:

$ test -f $GOPATH/src/git.apache.org/thrift.git/lib/go/thrift; echo $?
1

But when I use gvt I get:

$ gvt fetch -a git.apache.org/thrift.git/lib/go/thrift
2016/08/17 09:26:48 Fetching: git.apache.org/thrift.git/lib/go/thrift
fatal: dumb http transport does not support --depth
2016/08/17 09:26:49 command "fetch" failed: exit status 128

Hi! Thanks, you found a bug. To make fetching faster we do shallow clones. They are not supported by all git servers, but we fail to retry without.

Any progress on this?

The same issue, how to resolve or is there is a workaround ?

[dcelasun]

As a workaround, you can comment out this line and recompile gvt.
