You spell "--thin-aggressive" as two words, "--thin" "--shallow", in
this series, essentially, no?

I think this is going in the right direction.  The "shallow"
propagated on the wire from the fetcher is the right thing to use
to make this decision.

I wonder if the call to is_repository_shallow() is still necessary
(read: I would prefer to see it go away) where we decide between
"--objects-edge" and "--objects-edge-aggressive".

Here is the relevant part from 4/4:
