clone only last revision

Created by: manfer

We don't need to have the full branch history just to install an app from source. The last revision is more than enough.

If you clone the whole branch you need more than 80MB. If you clone only last revision you need less than 7MB.

Not only you are saving your disk space, you are saving github bandwidth and you are saving your time not having to wait for 10 times more MB to download.
