[release/v1.9.x] docs: correct the shallow clone claim for commit plus branch - #2148

Conversation
Combining .spec.ref.commit with .spec.ref.branch does not shallow clone. cloneCommit in fluxcd/pkg/git/gogit sets no Depth at all, unlike the branch, tag and semver paths, so a branch only narrows the clone to a single branch and the full history of that branch is still fetched. The wording predates the go-git and libgit2 split and has been inaccurate since. Signed-off-by: SaiPisey2 <piseysai0202@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 2b0f0b1)
