--depth=1 option with Google repo
<p>I have limited space in my VM, so I am trying to checkout the latest version of the Android source (without the repo history). I did the following:</p>

<pre><code>repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-5.1.1_r37 --depth=1
repo sync -c -j24 -q
</code></pre>

<p>It seems that the <code>--depth</code> option is not working and the checkout is still more than 6 GB. Is the option still supported?</p>
