Not by enough that it would make a proper difference. And AIUI commits from such checkouts can't be done (maybe that changed since I investigated shallow clones last time). I would rather see a possibility to request and submit single files through other means than needing a git checkout at all, through some github like edit/patch possibility (which was one of the reasons brought forward for the switch anyway). Anything else I don't see to really work out. And yes, I totally agree with that the whole repository burden is an obstacle for translators that we need to think about. If we can offer something like a webbased edit possibility (definitely authenticated/authorized unlike what DDTSS offers which is a real PITA, we need that information for the --author anyway) that could be very useful.
