Yeah, this all originally comes from Jeff H.'s design document in 637fc4467e (partial-clone: design doc, 2017-12-14), but probably should have been updated in 5d19e8138d (repack: repack promisor objects if -a or -A is set, 2018-08-08).

This looks good to me, but I'll add Jonathan Tan to the CC list to double check.
