Mind writing up a howto on the topic?

 - How things are set up using the current tool.
 - How others initially clone from you.
 - How others update (pull) from you.
 - What are the pitfalls you and others need to avoid
   (i.e. operations that involve old history)

I brought this up, because lack of official support of shallow
cloning was cited as one of the showstopper for a project that
once considered switching to git but didn't, from a mailing list
research.
