c525ce95b4 commit-graph: check all leading directories in changed path Bloom filters
The file 'dir/subdir/file' can only be modified if its leading
directories 'dir' and 'dir/subdir' are modified as well.

So when checking modified path Bloom filters looking for commits
modifying a path with multiple path components, then check not only
the full path in the Bloom filters, but all its leading directories as
well.  Take care to check these paths in "deepest first" order,
because it's the full path that is least likely to be modified, and
the Bloom filter queries can short circuit sooner.

This can significantly reduce the average false positive rate, by
about an order of magnitude or three(!), and can further speed up
pathspec-limited revision walks.  The table below compares the average
false positive rate and runtime of

  git rev-list HEAD -- "$path"

before and after this change for 5000+ randomly* selected paths from
each repository:

                    Average false           Average        Average
                    positive rate           runtime        runtime
                  before     after     before     after   difference
  ------------------------------------------------------------------
  git             3.220%   0.7853%     0.0558s   0.0387s   -30.6%
  linux           2.453%   0.0296%     0.1046s   0.0766s   -26.8%
  tensorflow      2.536%   0.6977%     0.0594s   0.0420s   -29.2%

*Path selection was done with the following pipeline:

	git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD | sort -R | head -n 5000

The improvements in runtime are much smaller than the improvements in
average false positive rate, as we are clearly reaching diminishing
returns here.  However, all these timings depend on that accessing
tree objects is reasonably fast (warm caches).  If we had a partial
clone and the tree objects had to be fetched from a promisor remote,
e.g.:

  $ git clone --filter=tree:0 --bare file://.../webkit.git webkit.notrees.git
  $ git -C webkit.git -c core.modifiedPathBloomFilters=1 \
        commit-graph write --reachable
  $ cp webkit.git/objects/info/commit-graph webkit.notrees.git/objects/info/
  $ git -C webkit.notrees.git -c core.modifiedPathBloomFilters=1 \
        rev-list HEAD -- "$path"

then checking all leading path component can reduce the runtime from
over an hour to a few seconds (and this is with the clone and the
promisor on the same machine).

This adjusts the tracing values in t4216-log-bloom.sh, which provides a
concrete way to notice the improvement.

23c4319f0d revision: reallocate TOPO_WALK object flags
The bit fields in struct object have an unfortunate layout.  Here's what
pahole reports on x86_64 GNU/Linux:

struct object {
	unsigned int               parsed:1;             /*     0: 0  4 */
	unsigned int               type:3;               /*     0: 1  4 */

	/* XXX 28 bits hole, try to pack */

	/* Force alignment to the next boundary: */
	unsigned int               :0;

	unsigned int               flags:29;             /*     4: 0  4 */

	/* XXX 3 bits hole, try to pack */

	struct object_id           oid;                  /*     8    32 */

	/* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* sum members: 32 */
	/* sum bitfield members: 33 bits, bit holes: 2, sum bit holes: 31 bits */
	/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};

Notice the 1+3+29=33 bits in bit fields and 28+3=31 bits in holes.

There are holes inside the flags bit field as well -- while some object
flags are used for more than one purpose, 22, 23 and 24 are still free.
Use  23 and 24 instead of 27 and 28 for TOPO_WALK_EXPLORED and
TOPO_WALK_INDEGREE.  This allows us to reduce FLAG_BITS by one so that
all bitfields combined fit into a single 32-bit slot:

struct object {
	unsigned int               parsed:1;             /*     0: 0  4 */
	unsigned int               type:3;               /*     0: 1  4 */
	unsigned int               flags:28;             /*     0: 4  4 */
	struct object_id           oid;                  /*     4    32 */

	/* size: 36, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 36 bytes */
};

With this tight packing the size of struct object is reduced by 10%.
Other architectures probably benefit as well.

9af3a7cb4d Merge branch 'ds/revision-show-pulls'
"git log" learned "--show-pulls" that helps pathspec limited
history views; a merge commit that takes the whole change from a
side branch, which is normally omitted from the output, is shown
in addition to the commits that introduce real changes.

* ds/revision-show-pulls:
  revision: --show-pulls adds helpful merges
2020-04-22 13:42:57 -07:00

8d049e182e revision: --show-pulls adds helpful merges
The default file history simplification of "git log -- <path>" or
"git rev-list -- <path>" focuses on providing the smallest set of
commits that first contributed a change. The revision walk greatly
restricts the set of walked commits by visiting only the first
TREESAME parent of a merge commit, when one exists. This means
that portions of the commit-graph are not walked, which can be a
performance benefit, but can also "hide" commits that added changes
but were ignored by a merge resolution.

The --full-history option modifies this by walking all commits and
reporting a merge commit as "interesting" if it has _any_ parent
that is not TREESAME. This tends to be an over-representation of
important commits, especially in an environment where most merge
commits are created by pull request completion.

Suppose we have a commit A and we create a commit B on top that
changes our file. When we merge the pull request, we create a merge
commit M. If no one else changed the file in the first-parent
history between M and A, then M will not be TREESAME to its first
parent, but will be TREESAME to B. Thus, the simplified history
will be "B". However, M will appear in the --full-history mode.

However, suppose that a number of topics T1, T2, ..., Tn were
created based on commits C1, C2, ..., Cn between A and M as
follows:

  A----C1----C2--- ... ---Cn----M------P1---P2--- ... ---Pn
   \     \     \            \  /      /    /            /
    \     \__.. \            \/ ..__T1    /           Tn
     \           \__..       /\     ..__T2           /
      \_____________________B  \____________________/

If the commits T1, T2, ... Tn did not change the file, then all of
P1 through Pn will be TREESAME to their first parent, but not
TREESAME to their second. This means that all of those merge commits
appear in the --full-history view, with edges that immediately
collapse into the lower history without introducing interesting
single-parent commits.

The --simplify-merges option was introduced to remove these extra
merge commits. By noticing that the rewritten parents are reachable
from their first parents, those edges can be simplified away. Finally,
the commits now look like single-parent commits that are TREESAME to
their "only" parent. Thus, they are removed and this issue does not
cause issues anymore. However, this also ends up removing the commit
M from the history view! Even worse, the --simplify-merges option
requires walking the entire history before returning a single result.

Many Git users are using Git alongside a Git service that provides
code storage alongside a code review tool commonly called "Pull
Requests" or "Merge Requests" against a target branch.  When these
requests are accepted and merged, they typically create a merge
commit whose first parent is the previous branch tip and the second
parent is the tip of the topic branch used for the request. This
presents a valuable order to the parents, but also makes that merge
commit slightly special. Users may want to see not only which
commits changed a file, but which pull requests merged those commits
into their branch. In the previous example, this would mean the
users want to see the merge commit "M" in addition to the single-
parent commit "C".

Users are even more likely to want these merge commits when they
use pull requests to merge into a feature branch before merging that
feature branch into their trunk.

In some sense, users are asking for the "first" merge commit to
bring in the change to their branch. As long as the parent order is
consistent, this can be handled with the following rule:

  Include a merge commit if it is not TREESAME to its first
  parent, but is TREESAME to a later parent.

These merges look like the merge commits that would result from
running "git pull <topic>" on a main branch. Thus, the option to
show these commits is called "--show-pulls". This has the added
benefit of showing the commits created by closing a pull request or
merge request on any of the Git hosting and code review platforms.

To test these options, extend the standard test example to include
a merge commit that is not TREESAME to its first parent. It is
surprising that that option was not already in the example, as it
is instructive.

In particular, this extension demonstrates a common issue with file
history simplification. When a user resolves a merge conflict using
"-Xours" or otherwise ignoring one side of the conflict, they create
a TREESAME edge that probably should not be TREESAME. This leads
users to become frustrated and complain that "my change disappeared!"
In my experience, showing them history with --full-history and
--simplify-merges quickly reveals the problematic merge. As mentioned,
this option is expensive to compute. The --show-pulls option
_might_ show the merge commit (usually titled "resolving conflicts")
more quickly. Of course, this depends on the user having the correct
parent order, which is backwards when using "git pull master" from a
topic branch.

There are some special considerations when combining the --show-pulls
option with --simplify-merges. This requires adding a new PULL_MERGE
object flag to store the information from the initial TREESAME
comparisons. This helps avoid dropping those commits in later filters.
This is covered by a test, including how the parents can be simplified.
Since "struct object" has already ruined its 32-bit alignment by using
33 bits across parsed, type, and flags member, let's not make it worse.
PULL_MERGE is used in revision.c with the same value (1u<<15) as
REACHABLE in commit-graph.c. The REACHABLE flag is only used when
writing a commit-graph file, and a revision walk using --show-pulls
does not happen in the same process. Care must be taken in the future
to ensure this remains the case.

Update Documentation/rev-list-options.txt with significant details
around this option. This requires updating the example in the
History Simplification section to demonstrate some of the problems
with TREESAME second parents.

19d097e3d7 format-patch: teach --no-encode-email-headers
When commit subjects or authors have non-ASCII characters, git
format-patch Q-encodes them so they can be safely sent over email.
However, if the patch transfer method is something other than email (web
review tools, sneakernet), this only serves to make the patch metadata
harder to read without first applying it (unless you can decode RFC 2047
in your head). git am as well as some email software supports
non-Q-encoded mail as described in RFC 6531.

Add --[no-]encode-email-headers and format.encodeEmailHeaders to let the
user control this behavior.

a56b9464cd revision.c: use Bloom filters to speed up path based revision walks
Revision walk will now use Bloom filters for commits to speed up
revision walks for a particular path (for computing history for
that path), if they are present in the commit-graph file.

We load the Bloom filters during the prepare_revision_walk step,
currently only when dealing with a single pathspec. Extending
it to work with multiple pathspecs can be explored and built on
top of this series in the future.

While comparing trees in rev_compare_trees(), if the Bloom filter
says that the file is not different between the two trees, we don't
need to compute the expensive diff. This is where we get our
performance gains. The other response of the Bloom filter is '`:maybe',
in which case we fall back to the full diff calculation to determine
if the path was changed in the commit.

We do not try to use Bloom filters when the '--walk-reflogs' option
is specified. The '--walk-reflogs' option does not walk the commit
ancestry chain like the rest of the options. Incorporating the
performance gains when walking reflog entries would add more
complexity, and can be explored in a later series.

Performance Gains:
We tested the performance of `git log -- <path>` on the git repo, the linux
and some internal large repos, with a variety of paths of varying depths.

On the git and linux repos:
- we observed a 2x to 5x speed up.

On a large internal repo with files seated 6-10 levels deep in the tree:
- we observed 10x to 20x speed ups, with some paths going up to 28 times
  faster.

1d7297513d notes: break set_display_notes() into smaller functions
In 8164c961e1 (format-patch: use --notes behavior for format.notes,
2019-12-09), we introduced set_display_notes() which was a monolithic
function with three mutually exclusive branches. Break the function up
into three small and simple functions that each are only responsible for
one task.

This family of functions accepts an `int *show_notes` instead of
returning a value suitable for assignment to `show_notes`. This is for
two reasons. First of all, this guarantees that the external
`show_notes` variable changes in lockstep with the
`struct display_notes_opt`. Second, this prompts future developers to be
careful about doing something meaningful with this value. In fact, a
NULL check is intentionally omitted because causing a segfault here
would tell the future developer that they are meant to use the value for
something meaningful.

One alternative was making the family of functions accept a
`struct rev_info *` instead of the `struct display_notes_opt *`, since
the former contains the `show_notes` field as well. This does not work
because we have to call git_config() before repo_init_revisions().
However, if we had a `struct rev_info`, we'd need to initialize it before
it gets assigned values from git_config(). As a result, we break the
circular dependency by having standalone `int show_notes` and
`struct display_notes_opt notes_opt` variables which temporarily hold
values from git_config() until the values are copied over to `rev`.

To implement this change, we need to get a pointer to
`rev_info::show_notes`. Unfortunately, this is not possible with
bitfields and only direct-assignment is possible. Change
`rev_info::show_notes` to a non-bitfield int so that we can get its
address.

d76ce4f734 log,diff-tree: add --combined-all-paths option
The combined diff format for merges will only list one filename, even if
rename or copy detection is active.  For example, with raw format one
might see:

  ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM	describe.c
  ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM	bar.sh
  ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR	phooey.c

This doesn't let us know what the original name of bar.sh was in the
first parent, and doesn't let us know what either of the original names
of phooey.c were in either of the parents.  In contrast, for non-merge
commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score
to boot).  In order to also provide original filenames for merge
commits, add a --combined-all-paths option (which must be used with
either -c or --cc, and is likely only useful with rename or copy
detection active) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when
renames are involved.  This transforms the above output to:

  ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM	desc.c	desc.c	desc.c
  ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM	foo.sh	bar.sh	bar.sh
  ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR	fooey.c	fuey.c	phooey.c

Further, in patch format, this changes the from/to headers so that
instead of just having one "from" header, we get one for each parent.
For example, instead of having

  --- a/phooey.c
  +++ b/phooey.c

we would see

  --- a/fooey.c
  --- a/fuey.c
  +++ b/phooey.c

f1f5de442f revision: add mark_tree_uninteresting_sparse
In preparation for a new algorithm that walks fewer trees when
creating a pack from a set of revisions, create a method that
takes an oidset of tree oids and marks reachable objects as
UNINTERESTING.

The current implementation uses the existing
mark_tree_uninteresting to recursively walk the trees and blobs.
This will walk the same number of trees as the old mechanism. To
ensure that mark_tree_uninteresting walks the tree, we need to
remove the UNINTERESTING flag before calling the method. This
implementation will be replaced entirely in a later commit.

There is one new assumption in this approach: we are also given
the oids of the interesting trees. This implementation does not
use those trees at the moment, but we will use them in a later
rewrite of this method.

b45424181e revision.c: generation-based topo-order algorithm
The current --topo-order algorithm requires walking all
reachable commits up front, topo-sorting them, all before
outputting the first value. This patch introduces a new
algorithm which uses stored generation numbers to
incrementally walk in topo-order, outputting commits as
we go. This can dramatically reduce the computation time
to write a fixed number of commits, such as when limiting
with "-n <N>" or filling the first page of a pager.

When running a command like 'git rev-list --topo-order HEAD',
Git performed the following steps:

1. Run limit_list(), which parses all reachable commits,
   adds them to a linked list, and distributes UNINTERESTING
   flags. If all unprocessed commits are UNINTERESTING, then
   it may terminate without walking all reachable commits.
   This does not occur if we do not specify UNINTERESTING
   commits.

2. Run sort_in_topological_order(), which is an implementation
   of Kahn's algorithm. It first iterates through the entire
   set of important commits and computes the in-degree of each
   (plus one, as we use 'zero' as a special value here). Then,
   we walk the commits in priority order, adding them to the
   priority queue if and only if their in-degree is one. As
   we remove commits from this priority queue, we decrement the
   in-degree of their parents.

3. While we are peeling commits for output, get_revision_1()
   uses pop_commit on the full list of commits computed by
   sort_in_topological_order().

In the new algorithm, these three steps correspond to three
different commit walks. We run these walks simultaneously,
and advance each only as far as necessary to satisfy the
requirements of the 'higher order' walk. We know when we can
pause each walk by using generation numbers from the commit-
graph feature.

Recall that the generation number of a commit satisfies:

* If the commit has at least one parent, then the generation
  number is one more than the maximum generation number among
  its parents.

* If the commit has no parent, then the generation number is one.

There are two special generation numbers:

* GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY: this value is 0xffffffff and
  indicates that the commit is not stored in the commit-graph and
  the generation number was not previously calculated.

* GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO: this value (0) is a special indicator
  to say that the commit-graph was generated by a version of Git
  that does not compute generation numbers (such as v2.18.0).

Since we use generation_numbers_enabled() before using the new
algorithm, we do not need to worry about GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO.
However, the existence of GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY implies the
following weaker statement than the usual we expect from
generation numbers:

    If A and B are commits with generation numbers gen(A) and
    gen(B) and gen(A) < gen(B), then A cannot reach B.

Thus, we will walk in each of our stages until the "maximum
unexpanded generation number" is strictly lower than the
generation number of a commit we are about to use.

The walks are as follows:

1. EXPLORE: using the explore_queue priority queue (ordered by
   maximizing the generation number), parse each reachable
   commit until all commits in the queue have generation
   number strictly lower than needed. During this walk, update
   the UNINTERESTING flags as necessary.

2. INDEGREE: using the indegree_queue priority queue (ordered
   by maximizing the generation number), add one to the in-
   degree of each parent for each commit that is walked. Since
   we walk in order of decreasing generation number, we know
   that discovering an in-degree value of 0 means the value for
   that commit was not initialized, so should be initialized to
   two. (Recall that in-degree value "1" is what we use to say a
   commit is ready for output.) As we iterate the parents of a
   commit during this walk, ensure the EXPLORE walk has walked
   beyond their generation numbers.

3. TOPO: using the topo_queue priority queue (ordered based on
   the sort_order given, which could be commit-date, author-
   date, or typical topo-order which treats the queue as a LIFO
   stack), remove a commit from the queue and decrement the
   in-degree of each parent. If a parent has an in-degree of
   one, then we add it to the topo_queue. Before we decrement
   the in-degree, however, ensure the INDEGREE walk has walked
   beyond that generation number.

The implementations of these walks are in the following methods:

* explore_walk_step and explore_to_depth
* indegree_walk_step and compute_indegrees_to_depth
* next_topo_commit and expand_topo_walk

These methods have some patterns that may seem strange at first,
but they are probably carry-overs from their equivalents in
limit_list and sort_in_topological_order.

One thing that is missing from this implementation is a proper
way to stop walking when the entire queue is UNINTERESTING, so
this implementation is not enabled by comparisions, such as in
'git rev-list --topo-order A..B'. This can be updated in the
future.

In my local testing, I used the following Git commands on the
Linux repository in three modes: HEAD~1 with no commit-graph,
HEAD~1 with a commit-graph, and HEAD with a commit-graph. This
allows comparing the benefits we get from parsing commits from
the commit-graph and then again the benefits we get by
restricting the set of commits we walk.

Test: git rev-list --topo-order -100 HEAD
HEAD~1, no commit-graph: 6.80 s
HEAD~1, w/ commit-graph: 0.77 s
  HEAD, w/ commit-graph: 0.02 s

Test: git rev-list --topo-order -100 HEAD -- tools
HEAD~1, no commit-graph: 9.63 s
HEAD~1, w/ commit-graph: 6.06 s
  HEAD, w/ commit-graph: 0.06 s

This speedup is due to a few things. First, the new generation-
number-enabled algorithm walks commits on order of the number of
results output (subject to some branching structure expectations).
Since we limit to 100 results, we are running a query similar to
filling a single page of results. Second, when specifying a path,
we must parse the root tree object for each commit we walk. The
previous benefits from the commit-graph are entirely from reading
the commit-graph instead of parsing commits. Since we need to
parse trees for the same number of commits as before, we slow
down significantly from the non-path-based query.

For the test above, I specifically selected a path that is changed
frequently, including by merge commits. A less-frequently-changed
path (such as 'README') has similar end-to-end time since we need
to walk the same number of commits (before determining we do not
have 100 hits). However, get the benefit that the output is
presented to the user as it is discovered, much the same as a
normal 'git log' command (no '--topo-order'). This is an improved
user experience, even if the command has the same runtime.

f0d9cc4196 revision.c: begin refactoring --topo-order logic
When running 'git rev-list --topo-order' and its kin, the topo_order
setting in struct rev_info implies the limited setting. This means
that the following things happen during prepare_revision_walk():

* revs->limited implies we run limit_list() to walk the entire
  reachable set. There are some short-cuts here, such as if we
  perform a range query like 'git rev-list COMPARE..HEAD' and we
  can stop limit_list() when all queued commits are uninteresting.

* revs->topo_order implies we run sort_in_topological_order(). See
  the implementation of that method in commit.c. It implies that
  the full set of commits to order is in the given commit_list.

These two methods imply that a 'git rev-list --topo-order HEAD'
command must walk the entire reachable set of commits _twice_ before
returning a single result.

If we have a commit-graph file with generation numbers computed, then
there is a better way. This patch introduces some necessary logic
redirection when we are in this situation.

In v2.18.0, the commit-graph file contains zero-valued bytes in the
positions where the generation number is stored in v2.19.0 and later.
Thus, we use generation_numbers_enabled() to check if the commit-graph
is available and has non-zero generation numbers.

When setting revs->limited only because revs->topo_order is true,
only do so if generation numbers are not available. There is no
reason to use the new logic as it will behave similarly when all
generation numbers are INFINITY or ZERO.

In prepare_revision_walk(), if we have revs->topo_order but not
revs->limited, then we trigger the new logic. It breaks the logic
into three pieces, to fit with the existing framework:

1. init_topo_walk() fills a new struct topo_walk_info in the rev_info
   struct. We use the presence of this struct as a signal to use the
   new methods during our walk. In this patch, this method simply
   calls limit_list() and sort_in_topological_order(). In the future,
   this method will set up a new data structure to perform that logic
   in-line.

2. next_topo_commit() provides get_revision_1() with the next topo-
   ordered commit in the list. Currently, this simply pops the commit
   from revs->commits.

3. expand_topo_walk() provides get_revision_1() with a way to signal
   walking beyond the latest commit. Currently, this calls
   add_parents_to_list() exactly like the old logic.

While this commit presents method redirection for performing the
exact same logic as before, it allows the next commit to focus only
on the new logic.

669b1d2aae exclude-promisor-objects: declare when option is allowed
The --exclude-promisor-objects option causes some funny behavior in at
least two commands: log and blame. It causes a BUG crash:

	$ git log --exclude-promisor-objects
	BUG: revision.c:2143: exclude_promisor_objects can only be used
	when fetch_if_missing is 0
	Aborted
	[134]

Fix this such that the option is treated like any other unknown option.
The commands that must support it are limited, so declare in those
commands that the flag is supported. In particular:

	pack-objects
	prune
	rev-list

The commands were found by searching for logic which parses
--exclude-promisor-objects outside of revision.c. Extra logic outside of
revision.c is needed because fetch_if_missing must be turned on before
revision.c sees the option or it will BUG-crash. The above list is
supported by the fact that no other command is introspectively invoked
by another command passing --exclude-promisor-object.

99c9aa9579 revision: mark non-user-given objects instead
Currently, list-objects.c incorrectly treats all root trees of commits
as USER_GIVEN. Also, it would be easier to mark objects that are
non-user-given instead of user-given, since the places in the code
where we access an object through a reference are more obvious than
the places where we access an object that was given by the user.

Resolve these two problems by introducing a flag NOT_USER_GIVEN that
marks blobs and trees that are non-user-given, replacing USER_GIVEN.
(Only blobs and trees are marked because this mark is only used when
filtering objects, and filtering of other types of objects is not
supported yet.)

This fixes a bug in that git rev-list behaved differently from git
pack-objects. pack-objects would *not* filter objects given explicitly
on the command line and rev-list would filter. This was because the two
commands used a different function to add objects to the rev_info
struct. This seems to have been an oversight, and pack-objects has the
correct behavior, so I added a test to make sure that rev-list now
behaves properly.

a12cbe23ef rev-list: make empty --stdin not an error
When we originally did the series that contains 7ba826290a
(revision: add rev_input_given flag, 2017-08-02) the intent
was that "git rev-list --stdin </dev/null" would similarly
become a successful noop. However, an attempt at the time to
do that did not work[1]. The problem is that rev_input_given
serves two roles:

 - it tells rev-list.c that it should not error out

 - it tells revision.c that it should not have the "default"
   ref kick (e.g., "HEAD" in "git log")

We want to trigger the former, but not the latter. This is
technically possible with a single flag, if we set the flag
only after revision.c's revs->def check. But this introduces
a rather subtle ordering dependency.

Instead, let's keep two flags: one to denote when we got
actual input (which triggers both roles) and one for when we
read stdin (which triggers only the first).

This does mean a caller interested in the first role has to
check both flags, but there's only one such caller. And any
future callers might want to make the distinction anyway
(e.g., if they care less about erroring out, and more about
whether revision.c soaked up our stdin).

In fact, we already keep such a flag internally in
revision.c for this purpose, so this is really just exposing
that to the caller (and the old function-local flag can go
away in favor of our new one).

a0c9016abd upload-pack: send refs' objects despite "filter"
A filter line in a request to upload-pack filters out objects regardless
of whether they are directly referenced by a "want" line or not. This
means that cloning with "--filter=blob:none" (or another filter that
excludes blobs) from a repository with at least one ref pointing to a
blob (for example, the Git repository itself) results in output like the
following:

    error: missing object referenced by 'refs/tags/junio-gpg-pub'

and if that particular blob is not referenced by a fetched tree, the
resulting clone fails fsck because there is no object from the remote to
vouch that the missing object is a promisor object.

Update both the protocol and the upload-pack implementation to include
all explicitly specified "want" objects in the packfile regardless of
the filter specification.

This was an undocumented debugging aid that does not seem to
have come in handy in the past decade, judging from its lack
of mentions on the mailing list.

Let's drop it in the name of simplicity. This is morally a
revert of 3131b71301 (Add "--show-all" revision walker flag
for debugging, 2008-02-09), but note that I did leave in the
mapping of UNINTERESTING to "^" in get_revision_mark(). I
don't think this would be possible to trigger with the
current code, but it's the only sensible marker.

We'll skip the usual deprecation period because this was
explicitly a debugging aid that was never documented.

f3d618d2bf Merge branch 'jh/fsck-promisors'
In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the machinery
for checking object connectivity used by gc and fsck has been
taught that a missing object is OK when it is referenced by a
packfile specially marked as coming from trusted repository that
promises to make them available on-demand and lazily.

* jh/fsck-promisors:
  gc: do not repack promisor packfiles
  rev-list: support termination at promisor objects
  sha1_file: support lazily fetching missing objects
  introduce fetch-object: fetch one promisor object
  index-pack: refactor writing of .keep files
  fsck: support promisor objects as CLI argument
  fsck: support referenced promisor objects
  fsck: support refs pointing to promisor objects
  fsck: introduce partialclone extension
  extension.partialclone: introduce partial clone extension
