Merge branch 'jh/partial-clone'
The machinery to clone & fetch, which in turn involves packing and unpacking objects, have been told how to omit certain objects using the filtering mechanism introduced by the jh/object-filtering topic, and also mark the resulting pack as a promisor pack to tolerate missing objects, taking advantage of the mechanism introduced by the jh/fsck-promisors topic. * jh/partial-clone: t5616: test bulk prefetch after partial fetch fetch: inherit filter-spec from partial clone t5616: end-to-end tests for partial clone fetch-pack: restore save_commit_buffer after use unpack-trees: batch fetching of missing blobs clone: partial clone partial-clone: define partial clone settings in config fetch: support filters fetch: refactor calculation of remote list fetch-pack: test support excluding large blobs fetch-pack: add --no-filter fetch-pack, index-pack, transport: partial clone upload-pack: add object filtering for partial clone
