Also, the sender may have cloned from the receiver (fully) and then
fetched a different history shallowly from elsewhere.  The receiver
may have no commit on that history, including the shallow-bottom.

Hmm.. right. And the receiver needs to setup proper graft to seal the
shallow bottom. So it's really not safe to do pushing from a shallow
repo without 52fed6e

Because this makes pushing from a shallow repo fall into "mostly
works" category, I withdraw this patch.

Yeah, "reliably fails when it shouldn't" may be safer than before
that patch, but the fact that you cannot push from a shallow one
still remains, so we probably shouldn't tell the users to use it.
