One other criterion I should have mentioned: we must be using the
internal rev-list. That prevented us in v1.8.4.1 and earlier from using
bitmaps for shallow fetches. But as of v1.8.4.2, we always use
pack-objects' rev-walker. We may need to pass --no-use-bitmap-index for
shallow fetches.
As for repos that are themselves shallow, I do not know how doing a
"repack -b" would fare. Probably not well.

Yeah, I do not think shallow follows the same have/want reachability
rules that we rely on for taking the set difference via bitmaps. It may
be made to work eventually, but I think the important thing at this
point is making sure we properly fall back to the slow method when
shallow.
