DEV: Create partial clone of discourse repository (#691)

A treeless clone is nearly as small as a shallow clone, but it contains the full history which makes it possible to easily checkout tags and commits and allows all features of docker_manager to work correctly.

See https://github.blog/2020-12-21-get-up-to-speed-with-partial-clone-and-shallow-clone/ for more information on treeless clones.

Also this change makes it possible to correctly pull the main branch which didn't work before.
