Tag v0.42.0 - GitSync clone depth

GitSync gains a `depth` keyword argument so callers can clone at an
arbitrary shallow depth (`git clone --depth N`), not just a single
commit. Passing `git_shallow` or `tls_verify` to the GitSync
constructor now sets the attribute instead of raising AttributeError
on the next sync (a regression dating back to v0.4.4).

+## libvcs 0.42.0 (2026-05-31)
+
+libvcs 0.42.0 teaches {class}`~libvcs.sync.git.GitSync` to clone at an arbitrary shallow depth rather than only a single commit, so tools that synchronize many repositories can persist and apply a numeric `--depth N` instead of a boolean shallow flag. It also repairs a long-standing bug where the `git_shallow` and `tls_verify` constructor arguments were silently dropped and then raised `AttributeError` on the next {meth}`~libvcs.sync.git.GitSync.obtain`. Downstream tools such as vcspull are the primary beneficiaries.
