I think that should be stated a bit differently. "Do you want to fetch the view that the upstream offers as an option, and if you want, which ones (meaning: there could be more than one replacement grafts to give different views)?"

And as an optional view, I would say it is perfectly Ok to fetch whichever view you want as a separate step after the initial clone.
