Though it needs a server _and_ a client supporting shallow clones, 
which support is brewed in "next" right now.

Will that actually discard old revisions that are already stored 
locally?

No. A pull should _never_ lose anything from the repository. However, if 
some objects become no-longer reachable (and at the moment it looks like 
we cut of history, even if we should not need to), they can be pruned from 
the repo.
