Thanks for the explanation.  Sounds compelling to me.  (The best workaround
I can imagine is to hardlink the packs by hand.)

Maybe ‘fetch-pack --all’ could learn a --local option to imitate
clone --local, and ‘fetch --local’ would run ‘fetch-pack --local --all’ no
matter what refs it was asked to fetch.  That would avoid questions about
which packs to grab.
