This ticket has been open since 2018:
https://github.com/defunkt/coffee-mode/issues/367
I pinged upstream again now on GitHub. I couldn't find an email
address, so I couldn't Cc them here.

Checking with
git -c 'fetch.fsck.zeroPaddedFilemode=warn' ${NONGNU_ELPA}
yields only the one warning
warning: object 2699d230e3b592ae42506d7b5c969a7ac6a4593c: \
zeroPaddedFilemode: contains zero-padded file modes

A shallow branch sounds like the best option to me. It's unfortunate
with the attribution of course, but the full history is preserved on
GitHub, so people can still find it. We can go back to a regular branch
later, if it gets fixed upstream.
