How to embbed --depth=1 at VCSCLIENT=('git::git') of makepkg.conf ?

*-git packages on AUR clones whole repository before building it.
It is avoided by git clone --depth=1 at prerare()  of PKGBUILD.
But how to set it for every package ? My makepkg.conf has

VCSCLIENTS=('bzr::bzr' 'fossil::fossil' 'git::git' 'hg::mercurial' 'svn::subversion')

pacman/makepkg don't support that, but there are some possibilities .
