[PATCH v2 2/2] fetch: do not override partial clone filter

From
JTJonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com>

Message-ID
<c3ced598751ae8fe7b7b6e787474331cf8219802.1601331788.git.jonathantanmy@google.com>
In-Reply-To

When a fetch with the --filter argument is made, the configured default filter is set even if one already exists. This change was made in 5e46139376 ("builtin/fetch: remove unique promisor remote limitation", 2019-06-25) - in particular, changing from:

 * If this is the FIRST partial-fetch request, we enable partial
 * on this repo and remember the given filter-spec as the default
 * for subsequent fetches to this remote.
to:
 * If this is a partial-fetch request, we enable partial on
 * this repo if not already enabled and remember the given
 * filter-spec as the default for subsequent fetches to this
 * remote.

(The given filter-spec is "remembered" even if there is already an existing one.)

This is problematic whenever a lazy fetch is made, because lazy fetches are made using "git fetch --filter=blob:none", but this will also happen if the user invokes "git fetch --filter=<filter>" manually. Therefore, restore the behavior prior to 5e46139376, which writes a filter-spec only if the current fetch request is the first partial-fetch one (for that remote).
