This release is functionally equivalent to the [7.x versions](https://github.com/bitrise-steplib/steps-git-clone/releases/tag/7.0.0).
After becoming aware that the latest `7.x` version sometimes clones an outdated state of the repository\*, we [quickly reverted the step](https://github.com/bitrise-steplib/steps-git-clone/releases/tag/7.0.3) to the last working state to avoid builds running on a wrong commit.
That reverted version ([7.0.3](https://github.com/bitrise-steplib/steps-git-clone/releases/tag/7.0.3)) didn’t follow [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/), so with this release we want to be on the safe side and mark the [re-introduction of the shallow cloning features](https://github.com/bitrise-steplib/steps-git-clone/releases/tag/7.0.0) as **a new major version** to avoid any disruption.
\*: Fixing this involved a change not in this step, but in the GitHub webhook processor ([more details](https://github.com/bitrise-io/bitrise-webhooks/pull/125))
