Very occasionally, but right now I'm logged into it directly.

Yes.  If my machine was directly accessible to the internet, I
would add an extra user, hand out logins to people like Jan, and
invite them to try
  git fetch --depth 1
on my machine, just so that they can see that I'm not doing
anything stupid.

I readily admit that Glasgow university has a completely sucky
firewall (it requires all users to manually set up an http proxy
in all their web browsers!).  But if git clone works, but git
clone --depth fails to work, then I think something else is at
play.
