Description
It would be extremely handy if both
git clone --depth depth remote-url
and
git clone URL --branch branch_name --single-branch [folder]
Were supported as clone options under the Clone / New pop-up settings in the SourceTree GUI.
Furthermore,
If branches from Stash and perhaps even GitHub, custom Git instances, etc. were searchable in the Clone / New pop-up settings in the SourceTree GUI when doing a
git clone URL --branch branch_name --single-branch [folder]
That would be extremely helpful to the user experience
Final summation
I feel this would cater to a wide selection of developers which might lack the proper technical know-how to do these commands in terminal.
We personally run a git-flow operation along with having multiple long running branches with many binary files for different large components to our product.
We only squish and merge one of these large binary file branches at critical steps during production i.e. Alpha, Beta, Gold Master to lower the overall revisions of those binary files in the develop branch and thus keeping our repository main production's overall branch size manageable.
