OK - in that case, it might be easier to just reuse my first patch in its entirety. "core.partialclonefilter" is not used until the fetching/cloning part anyway. I agree that "core.partialclonefilter" (or another place not in "remote") instead of "remote.<name>.blob-max-bytes" is a good idea - in the future, we might want to reuse the same filter setting for non-fetching functionality.
