That depends on your available bandwidth and the size of the repo, some people in some places for some repos are likely to prefer `git clone --depth=1` plus remote history interactions rather than a full copy of the history.

Not to mention reproducible build and offline build folks might like reproducible inputs. Yeah, you can use the commit id, but then you have to clone the whole thing (`git clone --depth 1 $repo $sha` is quite unreliable; you need to clone a refname, but then you need to guess at your `--depth` for how far back you want).
