How to convert a Git shallow clone to a full clone?
Solution 1:
The below command (git version 1.8.3) will convert the shallow clone to regular one
git fetch --unshallow
Then, to get access to all the branches on origin (thanks @Peter in the comments)
git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"
git fetch origin
Solution 2:
EDIT: git fetch --unshallow now is an option (thanks Jack O'Connor).
You can run git fetch --depth=1000000 (assuming the repository has less than one million commits).
