I actually think this is the wrong place to put it. This will cause a 
warning for someone with 'gc.writeCommitGraph' enabled and running GC on 
a shallow clone.

I think the issue was someone running 'git commit-graph write' inside a 
shallow clone that succeeds without doing anything.

Also, I bet you would hit this block if you run the test suite with 
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1.

This part looks correct, and necessary for the warning in 
builtin/commit-graph.c
