If I run
git config --global protocol.version 2
mkdir repo
cd repo
git init --bare
git remote add origin https://go.googlesource.com/proposal
git fetch --depth=1
git fetch --unshallow
then I expect to have a full history, just as though I had fetched
without --depth in the first place. Instead, it reports success
but does not fetch enough objects:
$ git fsck
notice: HEAD points to an unborn branch (master)
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
Checking objects: 100% (468/468), done.

The false success indicates problems in the client and the server.
Git 2.18-rc2 (the client) ought to have been more defensive, noticing
the incomplete history. The greater error is in JGit (the server),
which neglects to send the objects requested.
When serving protocol v0 requests, JGit sends the correct objects by
taking unshallowCommits into account when generating the pack to send
to the client. Do the same in the protocol v2 code path. I forgot to
do this in v5.0.0.
201806050710-rc3~6 (Teach UploadPack shallow fetch
in protocol v2, 2018-03-15).
