In #228 you asked me to put some documentation on the different methods. Honestly, I was unsure on what level that was useful.

I just created some MVP of such documentation for discussion.

Seems good, thank you very much for taking care of that 👍

The benefit of this approach is obviously that you can have a complete history that you can work with (as long as you do not need the file contents).
The initial clone takes a bit longer than the shallow one as additionally the history commits (without the contents) need to be transmitted.

The obvious drawback is that once you need to checkout a file that was never checked out in the clone, it has to be downloaded and a love internet connection is needed.

I let a typo checker run on the main file of the PR and fixed some in 73747b3. If you are okay with that, I'd suggest merging.
