- disallow fetching from this repo, and

Why? It's perfectly acceptable to pull from an incomplete repo, as
long as you don't care about the old history.

I agree.  As long as the cloned one can record itself as a
shallow one (and with what epochs), I do not see a reason to
forbid second generation clone from a shallow repository.

I agree too

Cauterizing is not any more special than other grafts entries.
If you have grafted historical kernel repository behind the
official kernel repository with 2.6.12-rc2 epoch, I do not think
of any reason to forbid people from cloning such with the
grafts.

I built my public repository from a cautorized one and everybody who
is pulling from mine is aware of the lack of the full history but they
actually don't care. If someone is pulling from my repo, he actually
wants to work on my project which do not need any old thing...

Thanks
