With this, it is unclear what happens if extensions.partialcloneremote
is not set but extensions.partialclonefilter is set. For something as
significant as a repository extension (which Git uses to determine if it
will even attempt to interact with a repo), I think - I would prefer
just extensions.partialclone (or extensions.partialcloneremote, though I
prefer the former) which determines the remote (the important part,
which controls the dynamic object fetching), and have another option
"core.partialclonefilter" which is only useful if
"extensions.partialclone" is set.
I also don't think extensions.partialclonefilter (or
core.partialclonefilter, if we use my suggestion) needs to be introduced
so early in the patch set when it will only be used once we start
fetching/cloning.

This function is useful once we have fetch/clone, but probably not
before that. Since the fetch/clone patches are several patches ahead,
could this be moved there?

With a complicated block, probably better to use braces in these
clauses.
