As per https://github.com/circleci/circleci-docs/issues/2040#issuecomment-368139737 It would be nice for users to have a way to shallow clone. Currently, we do checkout to checkout. It would be nice to be able to pass a depth into that like shallowClone:10 and then use the number 10 as the depth for the clone. The PR linked has a modified version of the existing script that works. CCI-I-254
