Subject: Why can't I push from a shallow clone?
Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2013 19:33:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANEZYrdsCgH+3NnZnnmsn_znt=+01aNn02u4mWyb3td9XypUog@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I've been trying to figure out why I can't push from a shallow clone
(using --depth) to a repository. I've made simple examples where it
works, but I've read that in doesn't work in every case. However, I
can't come up with a case where it doesn't work. Googling gives this
answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6900103/why-cant-i-push-from-a-shallow-clone,
but I don't completely understand the explanation, so I was hoping
someone could explain it.
