OTOH, the advantage of "--no-full" is that it's compatible with
existing Git versions. If I learn Git 1.6.6 with --no-full, and use it
in a script, then my stript works also with older Gits.

But anyway, I think very few people are actually interested in "git
--no-full" (or call it whatever you like), so I don't think this is
very important.
