I managed to reassemble what I _think_ is close to the original from
a few messages by dequoting and fixing MUA whitespace breakages in
them.
Here is with a slight tweak to the log message. Please holler if I
grabbed a wrong version of the patch or made any silly mistakes.
Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] upload-pack: ignore 'shallow' lines with unknown obj-ids
When the client sends a 'shallow' line for an object that the server does
not have, the server currently dies with the error: "did not find object
for shallow <obj-id>". The client may have truncated the history at
the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit
may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this
unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be
sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where
the updated history of the client is cauterised.
The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to
remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it
does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic
because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected
by the server.
