There was idea to special case clone (just concatenate the packs, the
receiving side as someone told there can detect pack boundaries; do not
forget to pack loose objects, first), instead of using generic fetch --all
for clone, bnut no code. Code speaks louder than words (although if someone
would provide details of pack boundary detection...)
