>             Project: Maven SCM
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: maven-scm-provider-gitexe
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.1
>            Reporter: Ernst de Haan

> *Executive summary: Please use {{--depth 1}} when checking out from a git repository.*
> Currently when doing {{mvn release:prepare release:perform}}, the git checkout step takes a significant amount of time.
> During the git checkout it appears to not only check out the correct version of the code, but also _all_ history, as would be done with a regular: {code:none}git clone URL{code}
> However, git supports checking out only the latest version of the code base, using this command: {code:none}git clone --depth 1 URL{code}
> For the purpose of the Maven Release Plugin, that should be sufficient, as far as I can see.
> Changing the plugin to use {{--depth 1}} will:
> - _significantly_ improve performance on larger repositories and/or with a lot of history
> - and reduce I/O on repositories with a lot of history.
