how about doing shallow clone with $git-clone --depth=1 then run recursive-diff on the sub-directories (n=1 is just an example)

Clone with depth parameters will help reduce size, yep. Not sure what
I just thought that if I use this, it's pretty much like fetching drupal without the tar.gz attribute (compression), and the benefits from incremental- diffs from git is not well implemented.
you're going for with a diff on subdirs - if you mean diffing modules, then diffing subdirs really depends on how you've chosen to compose your tree - submodules, subtree merges, or plain nested repos.
