This reverts commit dacd2bcc414e0b7aac36aaa400da0a743c4741cc. "It fails reliably without corrupting the receiving repository when it should fail" may be better than the situation before the receiving end was hardened recently, but the fact that sometimes the push does not go through still remains. It is better to advice the users that they cannot push from a shallow repository as a limitation before they decide to use (or not to use) a shallow clone. --- * Unfortunately I thought the documentation update was a no-brainer and already applied it, so here is a revert.
