We currently attempt a shallow clone, as tentative to save bandwidth and
download time.
However, now that we keep the git tree as a cache, it may happen that we
need to checkout an earlier commit, and that would not be present with a
shallow clone.
Furthermore, the shallow fetch is already really broken, and just
happens to work by chance. Consider the following actions, which are
basically what happens today:
mkdir git
git init git
cd git
git remote add origin https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
git fetch origin --depth 1 v4.17-rc1
if ! git fetch origin v4.17-rc1:v4.17-rc1 ; then
echo "warning"
fi
git checkout v4.17-rc1
The checkout succeeds just because of the git-fetch in the if-condition,
which is initially there to fetch the special refs from github PRs, or
gerrit reviews. That fails, but we just print a warning. If we were to
ever remove support for special refs, then the checkout would fail.
The whole purpose of the git cache is to actually save bandwidth and
download time, but in the long run. For one-offs, people would
preferably use a wget download (e.g. with the github macro) instead of
a git clone.
We switch to always doing a full clone. It is more correct, and pays off
in the long run...

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
