I am assuming that this "incomplete" means "this alternate helps reducing
the number of objects we need to fetch from the remote, but it does not
have everything objects we need, and we still need to fetch some from the
remote".  Am I correct?

I do not think you meant the alternate repository is in some way corrupt,
but I am just making sure, because I found the phrasing a bit odd.
