No, "shallow clone" and "partial checkout" are both different to "narrow clone". Maybe "partial clone" would fit the git terminology better. A shallow clone misses history after a certain point in time (well, commit order). A narrow clone misses history except in a subtree. A partial clone looks like a narrow clone in the workspace, but a narrow clone should have substantially less objects to download and store.
