Yes, but our SaaS tool required our customers to not use sparse or shallow checkouts since we needed the git commit-graph.

Using upload-pack allowed us to remove that constraint, since even in a shallow clone we can still get the commit graph via SSH from the remote.

But your post seemed to indicate you already had access to the commit graph. Is this just about getting that information without depending on APIs?
