I ran into this same surprising behavior recently, too. I was adding
some automated testing to Bitbucket for partial clones and initially
tried to use whether the repository was configured with a partial
clone filter as one of my checks, only to find that even when filters
weren't supported it was still set. The only way I could find to
detect that a partial clone that was requested didn't actually happen
was to parse the git clone output and look for the warning.
