Well, here at Assembla we're using send-pack --all for creating forks
from repos in a quick and efficient way.

I'm not really comfortable (yet) with git tests, so thanks for pointing 
to that.
I did see t5400, but thought that bug fixes should bring their own, 
separate,
test files. Also, thanks for all the explanations and for the adaptation 
of my
test to a way better version!

I'm going to update the patch and will send another version. Thanks again!
