If you're only cloning qtbase, why can't you just pass that argument to git 
clone?

Note that "cloning only qtbase" should mean "no other repositories, not even 
qt5.git"

Anyway:
- qtbase in a normal clone: 	212.11 MB (446763 objects)
- qtbase with --depth=1: 54.91 MB (22112 objects)

Note that --depth=1 only fetched a single branch (5.8).
