Okay -- so is the "--depth=N" filtering option to git-clone supported as well? And does it remain useful in the context of Kart applications?

Yes, you can do shallow clones with `--depth` as well. This is incredibly useful - it means we can publish massive Kart repositories of spatial data with lots of versioning info, but still allow users to work with small subsets of the most recent changes. Very important for typical GIS use cases.
