Description
I need some way of passing filters to the host server like using this parameter in git clone but couldn't find anywhere in the docs it mentioned being able to do this. I did find the fetch options custom header method but the documentation was to vague for me to guess how it was supposed to work (is this what I should be using?).

Research direction
Start with git2::FetchOptions and its custom_headers documentation, then compare it with Git's clone --filter option and the linked host-server behavior. Determine whether fetch filtering is already exposed or needs an API change; done means the supported approach is clear and usable, with corresponding documentation or coverage.
