-## Git shallow clone
+## Extra `git clone` arguments

-Limit the clone history to speed-up workspace startup by setting `depth`.
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Upgrading from v1.x?** The `depth` variable was removed in v2.0.0. Use `extra_args = ["--depth=1"]` instead.
+> Do not pass `-b` or `--branch` in `extra_args` when `branch_name` is
+> already set (or extracted from the URL). Git silently accepts the last
+> `-b` flag, so the two values would conflict.

-When `depth` is greater than `0` the module runs `git clone --depth <depth>`.
-If not defined, the default, `0`, performs a full clone.
+Pass any additional flags through `extra_args` (one element per argument).
+This lets you enable anything `git clone` supports without the module having
+to expose it explicitly, for example a shallow clone, submodules, parallel
+fetches, or partial clones.
