The way I understand http-push works is that it does not use
packed transfer, so I presume even if we give --thin as a hint
it cannot even take advantage of it.  Probably we should stop
passing --thin to http transport (git native one uses it as a
cue that it can generate baseless deltas in the resulting pack).

The clone over http seems to be severely broken in "next" right
now.  The one in "master" seems to be OK.  bisecting suggests
the breakage is coming from the tree parser rewrite.

bisect points at 136f2e548a34f1f504b0f062f87ddf33e8d6e83b.
