This allows cloning subprojects shallowly.  It works recursively for a
subproject's submodules in case `clone-recursive` is set to `true`.

+## Add `depth` option to `wrap-git`
+
+To allow shallow cloning, an option `depth` has been added to `wrap-git`.
+This applies recursively to submodules when `clone-recursive` is set to `true`.
+
+Note that the git server may have to be configured to support shallow cloning
+not only for branches but also for tags.
