Great question. I determined that the do_fetch_pack logic doesn't work for
clones because it also checks is_repository_shallow(), which looks for the
.git/shallow file (or the alternate file).
I considered changing clone to create an empty .git/shallow file or alternate,
but it turns out that an empty shallow file is treated as no shallow file at
all. Since at this stage in cloning we have nothing to put in the shallow file,
it seemed like any other fix would require more substantial changes.
