[PATCH v2] drm/ci: use shallow clone to avoid timeouts

[PATCH v2] drm/ci: use shallow clone to avoid timeouts

[Vignesh Raman]

The python-artifacts job has a timeout of 10 minutes, which causes
build failures as it was unable to clone the repository within the
specified limits. Set GIT_DEPTH to 50 to speed up cloning and avoid
build failures due to timeouts when fetching the full repository.

v2:
  - Set GIT_DEPTH to 50 to allow the check-patch job to pass

This sounds a bit fragile to me. Perhaps we need to make the
check-patch job instead specifically detect that it is missing history
and unshallow the history a bit more?

Cheers,

Yes, we could do that. The check-patch job timeout is 1h (from gitlab 
project settings) and we can unshallow git history. I will send a
v3 after testing.
