From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@xxxxxxxxx> There does not appear to be anything particularly incompatible about the --shallow and --path-walk options of 'git pack-objects'. If shallow commits are to be handled differently, then it is by the revision walk that defines the commit set and which are interesting or uninteresting. However, before the previous change, a trivial removal of the warning would cause a failure in t5500-fetch-pack.sh when GIT_TEST_PACK_PATH_WALK is enabled. The shallow fetch would provide more objects than we desired, due to some incorrect behavior of the path-walk API, especially around walking uninteresting objects. The recently-added tests in t5538-push-shallow.sh help to confirm this behavior is working with the --path-walk option if GIT_TEST_PACK_PATH_WALK is enabled. These tests passed previously due to the --path-walk feature being disabled in the presence of a shallow clone.
