When running ./autogen.sh, I get this:

Already up-to-date.
fatal: reference is not a tree: 4084b3a1094372b960ce4a97634e08f4538c8bdd

When I cd to the gnulib/ subdir and do 'git log', I get just this:

commit a59926b805d7708b2ecc5fdcd7743810e963e859
Author: Bruno Haible <address@hidden>

    nproc: Refactor large function.
    
    * lib/nproc.c (num_processors_ignoring_omp): New function, extracted
    from num_processors.
    (num_processors): In this function, only deal with OMP.

Using --depth=5 doesn't help.  But using no depth at all
takes far too long: 149584 deltas... wait... wait... wait...

Using --depth=222 works and does not take /too/ long, but...
how to know how many revisions are enough?

Trying with --shallow-since=2.months.ago gives:

fatal: Server does not support --shallow-since

We would need a --shallow-from=<hash>, but if it
existed the server probably would not support it either.
