git clone help says also that you cannot push after cloning with a 
--depth option, whereas Git for GNOME translators says it's (almost?) 
OK: has it been tested? I'm not keen on being a guinea-pig for this... :)

I'm not really interested in ten years of repository history for pushing

What is the status of damned-lies commit-upload of translations? This, 
from my POV, would be the best solution.
