If you do an update of an existing directory, instead of

This will reduce the download size considerably.
If he stays on the same branch (assuming he is on a branch). Or if his
"--depth" was deep enough to have common history with the new target branch.
An svn server (afaik) calculates the diff between any 2 revisions, even
on diff branches...
But (afaik, really not sure) git will look for the nearest common
history, and download all changes from that point.
This makes sense for git, because "--depth" is the exception, and not
what the design is made for. So git would assume you want the commits in
the middle, and it would assume you have common history.
(But again, not tested at all).
And if you "cloned" only a "tag" (depth 1), not a branch => then you may
not have an upstream branch. So you can't "git pull".
If you look at the top of the mail, you'll see I assumed he did a full
clone initially.
Less fuss.
Michael.
