Fix git shallow update (#3794)

* remove unused variables

* fetch branch name instead of HEAD

fix #3782, which was introduced by f1bacc1d3f

* disable git depth option for old git versions

fixes #3782
git support for `--depth` did not fully work in old git versions (before 1.8.2)
fall back to full clones/fetches on those versions
