Ahh, thanks for pointing out the flaw in my thinking that forgets that "remote.<name>.partialCloneFilter" would not work in the initial state where there is no <name> associated with the remote repository you are trying to contact. I agree that something like "remote.<url>.particialCloneFilter" is a more proper way forward.
