Last time I checked, git-http-pull did not utilize the pack
dependency information, which indeed is wrong.  When it decides
to fetch a pack instead of an asked-for object, it should check
which commits the pack expects to have in your local repository
and add them to its list of things to slurp.

A good news is that "git clone" as a whole works fine.
