Revert "git-clone.txt: remove the restriction on pushing from a shallow clone"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit dacd2bcc41.

"It fails reliably without corrupting the receiving repository when
it should fail" may be better than the situation before the receiving
end was hardened recently, but the fact that sometimes the push does
not go through still remains.  It is better to advice the users that
they cannot push from a shallow repository as a limitation before
they decide to use (or not to use) a shallow clone.

Create a 'shallow' clone with a history truncated to the
specified number of revisions. A shallow repository has a
number of limitations (you cannot clone or fetch from it, nor
push into it), but is adequate if you are only interested in
the recent history of a large project with a long history.

Pushing from a shallow clone should be avoided if the git version on
the receiver end is older than v1.7.10, or any other git
implementation that does not perform connectivity check.
