--thin is enabled by default for fetch (see transport.c:transport_get()) but it's only effective when the server advertises "thin-pack" capability (see protocol-capabilities.txt). push has --thin turned off by default favoring server resources over network traffic, see a4503a1 (Make --no-thin the default in git-push to save server resources - 2007-09-09)
