It is expected that _some_ links are missing, but this makes me
wonder if we can do better than disabling the connectivity check
altogether. Does "git fetch" lack sufficient information to attempt
the connectivity check, and when (and only when) it hits a broken
link, see if that is because the connectivity check traversal is
crossing a "partial" fetch boundary, or something along that line?
