No, that's not the case. You can just do a regular git pull. I do this all the time with other repos that I shallowly clone, such as Homebrew.

E.g., `git fetch --unshallow`. -Manny -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
