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)
