Comment (by dustin):

 So, from our IRC conversation, I think the safe (0.8.7) option here is to
 disallow shallow for anything but full-clobber builds.  The more complex
 option (not for 0.8.7) is to detect the problematic cases here (basically,
 trying to do an incremental build on a revision that was not part of the
 shallow clone) and work around them either with some git sorcery (which
 #git indicates is hard/impossilbe) or via a special-cased clobber-and-
 clone operation.

 I think we only need the safe option at the moment.  It brings the master-
 side step into line with the slave-side step's behavior.
