Re: [PATCH] partial-clone: add a partial-clone test case

That sounds like pointing at a different issue.  If the test
repository downloads the blobs at the tip, then the fact that the
trace output did not have "fetch" in it does not mean much, does it?
It could be that we refrained from lazily download the blob because
we did not need its contents for the purpose of following through an
exact rename, but it could also be that we did not need to lazily
download it because we already had it.

hmm, you're right.

So regardless of "--missing=print" vs "grep in trace", there was a
bug in the test set-up, and we caught it in this discussion, which
is excellent.
