Summary:                    Way to pass git options for cloning in
ExternalProject_Add
Description: 
AFAIK there is no way to pass git options while cloning repositories with
ExternalProject_Add.

Cloning git repositories can take a very long time. Git has options that make
cloning instantaneous if e.g. only one revision is required. For example:
--depth 1 clones only the latest revision very fast.

I would like to be able to pass options to git clone since that would
significantly improve my build times, which right now spend a very long time
cloning the whole history of multiple git repositories.
