Git repo should use shallow clones instead of full clones.

    Description

      Currently we use full clones during:

      • collecting changes, on bamboo server
      • code retrieval, on agents, during performing build

      In both cases we don't need the whole history, so if it is possible we should do shallow clones.

      Shallow clones are not implemented in JGit yet.

      Also - both server and agents should be able to fetch afterwards properly. Corner test case:

      • detecting new rev A -> add to queue
      • detecting new rev B (grandchild of A) -> add to queue (concurrent builds are on)
      • agent -> takes rev B, does shallow clone on it (so it won't have rev A)
      • agent -> takes rev A, does fetch - in such case agent should somehow obtain rev A

          Suggestion - BAM-7452 Investigate whether shallow clones (Git Repo) are fast enough

          Suggestion - BAM-7788 Git repo initial cache retrieval (the shallow one) should work properly between multiple plans using the same repo.

          Suggestion - BAM-7789 (Git repo) Successive code retrievals should use non-shallow fetches
