Grammo aside, I am not sure if that particular Note is beneficial to
begin with.  I would imagine that you can get a bundle that holds
all the objects in a shallow repository by specifying the range that
match the shallow-clone boundary when you run "git bundle create"
while disabling thin-pack generation.

The support of shallow-clone by Git may be incomplete and it may not
be easy to form such a range, and "git bundle create" command may
not have a knob to disable thin-pack generation, but that does not
mean that the bundle *format* cannot be used to represent the
shallow boundary.
