+## Git V2
+
+You should skip this unless you know that you need v2 compatibility. Enabling
+this feature comes with its own set of drawbacks.
+
+Some git providers like Azure DevOps require special features in the users git client
+to be able to communicate. The initial library used in source-controller did not support
+this functionality while other libraries that did were missinging other critical functionality,
+specifically the ability to do shallow cloning. Shallow cloning is important as it allows
+source-controller to only fetch the latest commits, instead of the whole git history.
+For some very large repositories this means downloading GB of data that could fill the disk
+and also impact the traffic costs.
+
+To be able to support Azure DevOps a compromise solution was built, giving the user the
+option to enable V2 compatibility with the drawbacks it brings.
