Looks like Pinterest’s team is confused about Git Branches. These are not real full copy versions of the main branch like in SVN or TFS. A branch in Git world is simply a pointer to a specific commit in the code push history.
Having said that, happy to be proven wrong, and learn about it.
- ekimekim 6y agoIIUC the issue here is the depth option - they're telling it to only fetch the last 50 commits, but they were fetching the last 50 commits from EACH branch. In other words, they were fetching all commits that are within 50 commits of any branch head. By restricting the branches, they drastically reduce the set of commits to fetch.
