New issue 1615 by percival.music.ca: lily-git.tcl not working: savannah no  
longer likes git fetch --depth
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1615

Savannah isn't responding to
  git fetch --depth 1

This is problematic.  Could somebody look into this?  (i.e. verify that  
it's broken on your own machine, send a support request to savannah, then  
check that it's working once they've fixed it?)
