Description rmazurak CLA 2010-12-20 19:17:26 EST 
Build Identifier: 3.5.1.R35x_v20090910-9gEeG1_FthkNDSP2odXdThaOu9GFDPn83DGB7

I cloned repository with partial history using this command:
git clone --depth 2 "url"

After this I can't view history ("Cannot compute Git history. Missing commit ...."), pull.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Clone part of repository :
  git clone --depth 2 "url"
2. Try view history, pull, compare with.

Thoughts on this Shawn?

I know that JGit doesn't support shallow clones yet [1].

Comment 2 Shawn Pearce CLA 2010-12-20 19:25:29 EST 
Yup.  This is because JGit's revision walker doesn't know where the shallow boundary is, and is crashing when it tries to walk a commit that wasn't actually downloaded by this clone.

I'm going to dupe this to bug 301627.

We have some code towards implementing shallow clones but aren't there yet.
