I've always wondered why pushing from a shallow clone didn't work. It's the 
client (the shallow repo) that decides what objects to send and it has all the 
objects it needs. Isn't it?

I understand why you can never update it (fetch into it), since the remote may 
conclude that it doesn't need to send some objects.
