Nice. I didn't know about --boundary. But will it work correctly in
this case?

       --- B ---- C ---- F
          /      /
     --- D ---- E ---- G

C and D will be current shallow cut points. People "want" F and G.
"rev-list --boundary F G ^C ^D" would mark E as boundary/shallow too,
correct? If so the history from G will be one depth short on a normal
fetch.

Urgh.. not good. Perhaps a new extension to let the server know the
client can handle spontaneous "deepen" commands and only activate new
mode when the extension is present?

I can pick it up if you are busy with other stuff. But I'm also having
a couple other topics at the moment, so it may not progress very fast.
