Uh, the idea to warn comes from previous comments I wrote 25 days ago:
  "and maybe we could warn client in fetch-pack stage, if we don't choose 
   to reject shallow cloning."

then no one response to that point, so I think is ok to apply it. Now, it seems like a bad idea. I will remove it.

Yes, this is for protocol v2.

I will remove the unnecessary warning() part.
