The current series of fetch invocations in GitDownloadStrategy has the
unfortunate behavior of fetching full history even in shallow clones
that only need the history between the clone point and the remote HEAD.
It should be possible to determine if it is actually necessary to fetch
the full history, including all tags, and if it is not to avoid this
overhead.
FixesHomebrew/homebrew#11958, and several other recurring problems.

GIT_DIR is convenient, but it does not work when both a formula and
subformula try to stage a git checkout, as git will use the main
formula's repository when staging the subformula.
Stop setting it, and restore the kludge to the git-multipush formula.
