What about doing a `git clone --depth 1`? I don't know how to do that on a JS library in the browser, but should be possible. Seems to be a pure client-side thing since it worked on 'song' (from the CLI) without me having to do anything on the server side.

OK, already answered here: But is it really that slow? It's hard for me to believe it is that slow since on my terminal it runs so fast!

I considered that and experimented with it. There is a lack of support to do it in the browser. In any case, it is too heavy to do client side. And too slow / bandwidth inefficient to do on demand on the server-side. It could potentially be done as a job run daily but it is ultimately reliatively expensive operation to run give we are just looking for the readme.
