Re: [PATCH 2/2] fetch-pack: do not check links for partial fetch

Our only definition (currently) for the "partial" fetch boundary is
whether an object in a promisor packfile (a packfile obtained from the
promisor remote) references it, so I think that checking for crossing a
"partial" fetch boundary does not add anything.
Ah, that's a perfect answer. When we find a link that leads to a
missing object in a pack after receiving it from a remote repository
that gives us promises, the missing object must be available from
the remote repository by definition.  Makes perfect sense ;-)

Thanks.
