I've wanted this option for so long :-) Are there any downsides to it, apart from the obvious one of 'git log' not going all the way back in time? I mean, do any commands break unexpectedly?

The --depth flag has been around for a long time but, previously, came with a number of limitations (cannot push from, pull from, or clone from a shallow clone). As of 1.9.0, those limitations have been removed.
