This code still assumes full packs. You'll want to use
localrepo.object_store.add_thin_pack rather than
localrepo.object_store.add_pack.

A trivial way to do it would be to create a temporary file/StringIO,
have fetch_pack write into that and then pass the read method on that
object to add_thin_pack.
