The git plugin should support shallow repositories like this:
--depth <depth>
           Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified number of revisions. A shallow repository has a number of limitations (you cannot clone or fetch from it, nor push from nor into it), but
           is adequate if you are only interested in the recent history of a large project with a long history, and would want to send in fixes as patches.
