When fetching a pack from a promisor remote, the corresponding .promisor
file needs to be created. "fetch-pack" originally did this by passing
"--promisor" to "index-pack", but in 5374a290aa ("fetch-pack: write
fetched refs to .promisor", 2019-10-16), "fetch-pack" was taught to do
this itself instead, because it needed to store ref information in the
.promisor file.

So is this patch a fix for a regression in v2.25?

Yes. (Just checked with "git merge-base" that 5374a290aa is in v2.25.0
but not v2.24.0.)

Thanks.  

I wonder how we missed the breakage back then, but better late than
never ;-)
