2017-11-22rev-list: add list-objects filtering supportJeff Hostetler
Teach rev-list to use the filtering provided by the traverse_commit_list_filtered() interface to omit unwanted objects from the result. Object filtering is only allowed when one of the "--objects*" options are used. When the "--filter-print-omitted" option is used, the omitted objects are printed at the end. These are marked with a "~". This option can be combined with "--quiet" to get a list of just the omitted objects. Add t6112 test. In the future, we will introduce a "partial clone" mechanism wherein an object in a repo, obtained from a remote, may reference a missing object that can be dynamically fetched from that remote once needed. This "partial clone" mechanism will have a way, sometimes slow, of determining if a missing link is one of the links expected to be produced by this mechanism. This patch introduces handling of missing objects to help debugging and development of the "partial clone" mechanism, and once the mechanism is implemented, for a power user to perform operations that are missing-object aware without incurring the cost of checking if a missing link is expected.
