Subject: [PATCH] git-download: Print a message when falling back to a full
 fetch.

Otherwise the user might believe that git-fetch stalled, observing the lack of
output following a 'fatal' git error message (see:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/33100).

* guix/build/git.scm (git-fetch): Print message when falling back to a full
fetch.
