Tried to use shallow repository - this works in case it is remote, but unfortunately, deepening the repository fails if the server is used. This is bad, but a workaround is to create another shared repo which pushes a changes that we fetch into our given repo. This should provide more output to properly test the fetch handling. Harder than I thought
