In https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqilkm9wv6.fsf@gitster.g/ you wrote:

I understood the above to mean that you would be Ok with adding
a "--filter" flag to `git gc`.

I still think that users should be able to control if `git gc` performs
such a filtering when repacking, and I don't see how it could be done
without any new option at all. I think that for example only checking
the 'remote.<name>.partialclonefilter' config variable to decide if it
should be done or not is just too dangerous for people already using
this variable.
In the v4 I will send really soon now, I tentatively implemented a
'gc.repackFilter' config option for the purpose of telling `git gc` that it
should perform filtering repacks with the specified filter. I hope that
this will help move the discussion forward.
BTW in the latest "What's cooking in git.git" emails there is the
following about this patch series:
-> Seems to break CI.
-> cf. https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/3560918726
I took a look at the failures in the different failing tests and they
don't seem related to this patch
series and seem quite random:

I tried different build flags but can't reproduce locally.
