Hi,

I'd like to change the git-download so that it supports
shallow-clone by default.

However I don't understand the current (guix git-download)
enough. Why is it all handled via environment variables?
I don't even see the "recursive" part in the git documentation
for environment variables.
The way it currently is, I can not easily extend the download
command to "git clone --depth 1 --shallow-submodules"

Info:

-depth <depth>

    Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the
    specified number of commits. Implies --single-branch unless
    --no-single-branch is given to fetch the histories near the
    tips of all branches. If you want to clone submodules
    shallowly, also pass --shallow-submodules.
    
We don't need the whole history of a git checkout (or any version
control system).

Furthermore, I'd like to add a functionality to select a
branch/tag more easily than just by commit.
