OK. Everything you wrote seemed reasonable to me, but I did have a
couple of questions on the test you added:

Hmm. Is there a reason that the same couldn't be implemented by calling "git
cat-file -s" from the partial clone?

This is a stylistic nit, but I think using test_commit is better here
for a non-superficial reason. My guess is that you wanted to avoid
specifying a message and file (which are required positional arguments
to test_commit before you can specify the contents). But I think there
are two good reasons to use test_commit here:
- It saves three lines of test script here.
- You don't have to make the expected size a magic number (i.e.,
because you knew ahead of time that the contents was "12345").
I probably would have expected this test to end with:
git -C full cat-file -s $FILE_HASH >expect &&
git -C partial.git cat-file -s $FILE_HASH >actual &&
test_cmp expect actual
which reads more clearly to me (although I think the much more important
test is that $FILE_HASH doesn't show up in the output of the rev-list
--missing=print that is run in the partial clone).

This works for me, although I wouldn't have been sad to see the
sub-shell contain "git -C full rev-parse HEAD:file.txt" instead.

Coming back to my point about the utility of the partial-clone helper,
could this be replaced by saying just OUT="$(git -C partial.git cat-file
-s "$FILE_HASH")" instead?
Thanks,
