  Is your goal to use narrowness without ellipsis nodes with a changegroup1 server? Can we split this patch up so it just splits up the "narrow" capability into "narrow" and "ellipsis" and then we can consider cg1 support in a separate patch?

I'd rather not include "narrow" in the name. It doesn't necessarily require narrowness. You can imagine using ellipsis nodes to achieve a shallow clone that still has all paths.
