"Makes no sense" is a little harsh. Presumably it made sense to the
user, or she wouldn't have passed that option. The relevant point is
that git was not able to make sense of it.
How about something like
fatal: shallow clone must have positive depth
? The "see manpage" is always implied by die(), and I don't see any
particular reason to point to a specific section here.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
