I did some of my own investigation and have a working (i.e. passing
tests) version of this patch here:
https://github.com/jonathantanmy/git/commits/pc20171103
If you want, you can use that, or incorporate the changes therein here.
I'll also remark on my findings inline.

opt here is unchanged from CHECK_CONNECTED_INIT, so this change is unnecessary.

You'll also need to set TRANS_OPT_FROM_PROMISOR.

My intention in doing the "fetch: refactor calculation of remote list"
patch is so that the interaction between the provided list of remotes
and the specification of the filter can be handled using the following
diff:
- if (remote)
+ if (remote) {
+ if (filter_options.choice &&
+ strcmp(remote->name,
repository_format_partial_clone_remote))
+ die(_("--blob-max-bytes can only be used with the
remote configured in core.partialClone"));
result = fetch_one(remote, argc, argv);
- else
+ } else {
+ if (filter_options.choice)
+ die(_("--blob-max-bytes can only be used with the
remote configured in core.partialClone"));
result = fetch_multiple();
+ }
(Ignore the "blob-max-bytes" in the error message - that needs to be
updated.)
The GitHub link I provided above has this diff, and it seems to work.
