✨ PR Review
The PR successfully optimizes git fetch performance by switching to shallow clones, but introduces a potential functional regression for branches or commits older than 1 year.
1 issues detected:
🐞 Bug - Fetching only 1 year of history will fail to checkout branches that reference commits older than this timeframe.
Details: The shallow-since fetch will fail to retrieve commits older than 1 year. If base_ref or head_ref reference commits created before this cutoff (e.g., in reopened PRs, long-lived branches, or branches based on old commits), the fetch operations will not retrieve the necessary commits, causing the subsequent checkout operations on lines 134-136 to fail with reference errors.

✨ PR Review
The PR optimizes git clone performance by using shallow fetches, but there's a critical discrepancy between what was tested and what was implemented.
1 issues detected:
🐞 Bug - Implementation uses 6-month cutoff while testing and documentation reference 1-year cutoff 🛠️
Details: The implementation uses "6 months ago" for shallow fetch, but the PR description and performance testing clearly show results from testing with a "1 year" shallow clone. This discrepancy means the actual performance characteristics and failure risks differ from what was validated. The more aggressive 6-month cutoff increases the likelihood of checkout failures for long-lived or reopened PRs beyond what was tested.
