https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/51400

Description:
<!--
  if you are creating a bug report or package request, please fill out one of the forms here:
  https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/new/choose

  Don't request an update of a package, We have a script for that:
  https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/void-updates/void-updates.txt
  However, a quality pull request may help.
-->

`--depth=1` signifies that we only care about the most recent commits, which should be the case for `void-packages`. This should make the `git clone` a little bit faster.

This would also require the user to `git pull --depth 1`. So I would expect this issue to be unimportant and potentially confusing. Nevertheless, raising this issue to learn.

Comment:
that isn't the case for most usage of void-packages, and a [treeless or blobless clone](https://github.blog/open-source/git/get-up-to-speed-with-partial-clone-and-shallow-clone/) would be better than `--depth 1`

Additionally, users should know enough about git to know they can use `--depth` or other kinds of shallow/partial clones if they want it
