I need to get nd/pathspec right and implement negative pathspecs before returning to this feature. But there are still interesting issues:

 - narrow by directories or pathspecs (or unpack_trees() by
directories or pathspecs)
 - widen a clone (negative pathspecs should help calculating necessary objects)
 - should commit objects that does not update narrow area be fetched
(I recall it consumes a considerable amount. Security is also an
issue)
 - push support for shallow clone (Elijah approach does not base on
shallow clone, so it's non-issue)
