Can you explain the end goal for this? (I did not find it in the cover letter,
nor do I make sense of this documentation)

So from what I understand, this series relates to partialClone, which
has the remote name of the "promisor" in extensions.partialclone.
That is the remote to contact for any needs w.r.t. partial clone and
fetching on demand.

This key "odb.<name1>.promisorRemote = <name2>" introduces
2 new names, where do each of these two names hook in?
name2 is a remote, such as "origin" from what I can tell, but
which naming scheme does name1 follow here?

What makes the odb key different, in that the partial clone
feature only handles objects as well?
