Does git depth=2 respect the queue?

https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/customizing-the-build#Git-Clone-Depth notes

Please note that if you use a depth of 1 and have a queue of jobs, Travis CI won’t build commits that are in the queue when you push a new commit.

I find this behaviour rather inscrutable... is depth 2 enough to make the queue work? Or do you need depth n where n is the number of jobs in the queue?

git.depth and the queue length are really unrelated. git.depth is used when we clone the repo to run the build. If the commit you are trying to build is not reachable within the given depth at the time the repository is cloned during the build, it will fail. It does not matter how high or low this value is, if the commit is unreachable.

The documentation as is is a little confusing, so it should be improved.
