Ah, interesting.

I'm inclined towards "let's live with it". Such a situation would
probably make some users nervous, but there should be some repository,
typically the public one of a project that promotes the use of
--partial, where the whole history would be available. For instance
the cabal project uses OF repositories with checkpoints
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/code.html , but they also contain the
whole history of the project and can be ``get`` completely again.
