Argument list too long when fetching many missing objects from partial clone

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

I'm poking around with partial clone. On my local server on my computer
I have full clone of Git (git.git) repo.

I do partial clone from that server as remote (which is actually on the same
computer):

   git clone https://my-local-server.git/myself/git.git --filter=blob:none

Inside the partial clone, I tried to convert it to full clone. First, I gather
list of missing objects:

   git rev-list --objects --all --missing=print | grep -oP '^\?\K\w+' > .git/missing.list

Then I fetched those:

   git fetch origin $(cat .git/missing.list)

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

All missing objects fetched successfully

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

Git returned:

    -bash: /opt/git/bin/git: Argument list too long

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

(nothing)

Anything else you want to add:

I think the problem lies on how to feed list of 110K+ objects to `git fetch`.

Note: Both the local server and the computer use Git 2.30.1
