Well, clone-depth = 0 gave me a syntax error and it said in the 
portage manpage
                            clone-depth
					                                      Specifies
												   clone
												   depth
												   to use
												   for
												   DVCS
												   repositories. Defaults
												   to 1
												   (only
												   the
												   newest
												   commit). If
												   set to
												   0, the
												   depth
												   is
												   unlimited.

So, maybe I have to do just a git clone by hand?
