From what I can tell, shallow clones don't seem to work with local clones. Am I missing some option? I'm guessing they only work with the smart transport. I would expect it to work like the git CLI, which can support shallow clones when using file:// URLs.
git clone --depth=1 file:///path/to/test

Expected behavior
Local repos can be shallow cloned.
Actual behavior
It seems to ignore the depth parameter.
