Speed up getDocs clones with shallow, single-branch fetch#383

gerbsen wants to merge 2 commits into

getDocs.js only needs a snapshot of each upstream repo's docs, but it did a full clone (entire history, all branches). Add --depth 1 and --single-branch so each clone transfers only the latest commit of the default branch, cutting fetch time and bandwidth noticeably for the larger source repositories.
