Does anyone still use non-default thinness? 

Its a command line option on the porcelain.

Actually, the command line supports turning it on, and it defaults to on. 
So I think your helper can safely assume that it's on. :)

For fetch it defaults to "on", but for push I think it defaults
to "off".  Turning it on when pushing on a low bandwidth network
connection might actually be useful to an end-user.

Nope, on ~line 849 of transport.c, it gets set for all native-transport 
handlers, and never gets turned off. Looks like a misconversion 2 years 
ago defaulting "data->thin" to 1 instead of 0, but it seems not to have 
caused problems.
