Hmm. I don't think that is the case anymore.
If I do:
git init parent &&
(cd parent && seq 1 10000 >file &&
git add file && git commit -m base
) &&
git clone parent child &&
cd child && seq 1 10001 >file &&
git commit -a -m more &&
GIT_TRACE=1 git push origin HEAD:foo
I see:
trace: run_command: 'pack-objects' '--all-progress-implied' '--revs'
'--stdout' '--thin' '--delta-base-offset' '--progress'
