Yes, I actually removed that check in the first iteration of this patch, reasoning that it can't cause any harm and it mostly works. But "mostly" is not good enough. I will try remove it later if I can make it always work by extending git protocol a bit (I think full clone pushing to shallow one can always work. Shallow pushing to shallow, probably no such guarantee) -- Duy
