I was experimenting with uploadpack.hiderefs and uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant
and couldn't get
git fetch-pack $remote <sha1>
to work, and I traced the failure until that check. Reading more, I now see
that currently it requires
git fetch-pack $remote "<sha1> <sha1>"
to do what I want.

git fetch-pack doesn't use these code paths. I'll send a new patch
shortly to allow
bare sha1's in fetch-pack.
