By "transparently" the statement you are responding to meant many
things.

"git clone" of course need to be updated on the client side, but
things like "git repack" that is run on the server end may start
producing extra files in the repository, and updated "git daemon"
and/or "git upload-pack" would take these extra files as a signal
that the material produced during the last repack is usable for
bootstrapping a new clone with "wget -c" equivalent.  So even if you
are not yet automatically offloading to CDN, such a set of updates
on the server side would "transparently" enable the resumable clone
for all repositories elsewhere when deployed and enabled ;-)
