$ man git-clone | grep shallow -A3 -B1
       --depth <depth>
           Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified number of revisions. A shallow repository has a
           number of limitations (you cannot clone or fetch from it, nor push from nor into it), but is adequate if you are
           only interested in the recent history of a large project with a long history, and would want to send in fixes as
           patches.

cd $srcdir
        if [ -d $_gitname ]; then
            cd $_gitname && git pull origin
            msg "The local files are updated."
        else
            git clone --depth=1 $_gitroot $_gitname
