Answer 1

From git-clone man page:

--single-branch is your friend during clone remember to use with --branch or only remote primary HEAD will be cloned (master by default)

Always remember to do Ctrl + F5 to read fresh source, not the one from cache :-) (I didn't so didn't know about this option for long time.)
