Improved workspace startup times

Speeeed 🚀! When you start a new workspace, we changed how we clone your repository. Going forward, we have a two step approach:

  1. Clone the most recent commit only (with the depth=1 git flag)
  2. About ten seconds later, we start to fetch 20 additional commits

Thanks to this, we let you start your work sooner while we fetch a few more commits. You can find the details of this change in the #6464 pull request.

Please let us know what you think via Twitter @gitpod or chat with us at https://www.gitpod.io/chat.
