docs: clarify that --depth for git-fetch works with newly initialized repos
The original wording sounded as if --depth could only be used to deepen or
shorten the history of existing repos. However, that is not the case. In a
workflow like
$ git init
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/git/git.git
$ git fetch --depth=1
The newly initialized repo is properly created as a shallow repo.
