Cool. Operationally, are you using some host-resident non-shallow repo as your point of centralization for the containers, or are you using a central network-hosted repo (like github)?

If the former, how are you getting the shallow clones to the container/mount, before you start the containerized agent? And when the agent is done, are you then adding its updated shallow clones as remotes to that “central” local repository clone and then fetching/merging?

If the latter, I guess you are just shallow-cloning into each container from the network remote and then pushing completed branches back up that way.
