parentt5615-partial-clone: add test for fetch --refetch (diff)

fetch: after refetch, encourage auto gc repacking
After invoking `fetch --refetch`, the object db will likely contain many duplicate objects. If auto-maintenance is enabled, invoke it with appropriate settings to encourage repacking/consolidation. * gc.autoPackLimit: unless this is set to 0 (disabled), override the value to 1 to force pack consolidation. * maintenance.incremental-repack.auto: unless this is set to 0, override the value to -1 to force incremental repacking.
