Use-cases include Google Code (that doesn't support shallow clones) and
random build systems that play with history and 'git describe'.
However, please use this sparingly. When the build can't go on without
non-shallow clone, sure. But if it only results in non-pretty versions,
I think users choosing EGIT_CLONE_TYPE=shallow explicitly are ready to
deal with the fallout.
