Patrick Steinhardt b0c42a53c9 list-objects: implement object type filter
While it already is possible to filter objects by some criteria in
git-rev-list(1), it is not yet possible to filter out only a specific
type of objects. This makes some filters less useful. The `blob:limit`
filter for example filters blobs such that only those which are smaller
than the given limit are returned. But it is unfit to ask only for these
smallish blobs, given that git-rev-list(1) will continue to print tags,
commits and trees.

Now that we have the infrastructure in place to also filter tags and
commits, we can improve this situation by implementing a new filter
which selects objects based on their type. Above query can thus
trivially be implemented with the following command:

    $ git rev-list --objects --filter=object:type=blob \
        --filter=blob:limit=200

Furthermore, this filter allows to optimize for certain other cases: if
for example only tags or commits have been selected, there is no need to
walk down trees.

The new filter is not yet supported in bitmaps. This is going to be
implemented in a subsequent commit.

uploadpack.hideRefs::
This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
only to `upload-pack` (and so affects only fetches, not pushes).
An attempt to fetch a hidden ref by `git fetch` will fail. See
also `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`.
uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant::
When `uploadpack.hideRefs` is in effect, allow `upload-pack`
to accept a fetch request that asks for an object at the tip
of a hidden ref (by default, such a request is rejected).
See also `uploadpack.hideRefs`. Even if this is false, a client
may be able to steal objects via the techniques described in the
"SECURITY" section of the linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's
best to keep private data in a separate repository.
uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant::
Allow `upload-pack` to accept a fetch request that asks for an
object that is reachable from any ref tip. However, note that
calculating object reachability is computationally expensive.
Defaults to `false`. Even if this is false, a client may be able
to steal objects via the techniques described in the "SECURITY"
section of the linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's best to
keep private data in a separate repository.
uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant::
Allow `upload-pack` to accept a fetch request that asks for any
object at all.
Defaults to `false`.
uploadpack.keepAlive::
When `upload-pack` has started `pack-objects`, there may be a
quiet period while `pack-objects` prepares the pack. Normally
it would output progress information, but if `--quiet` was used
for the fetch, `pack-objects` will output nothing at all until
the pack data begins. Some clients and networks may consider
the server to be hung and give up. Setting this option instructs
`upload-pack` to send an empty keepalive packet every
`uploadpack.keepAlive` seconds. Setting this option to 0
disables keepalive packets entirely. The default is 5 seconds.
uploadpack.packObjectsHook::
If this option is set, when `upload-pack` would run
`git pack-objects` to create a packfile for a client, it will
run this shell command instead. The `pack-objects` command and
arguments it _would_ have run (including the `git pack-objects`
at the beginning) are appended to the shell command. The stdin
and stdout of the hook are treated as if `pack-objects` itself
was run. I.e., `upload-pack` will feed input intended for
`pack-objects` to the hook, and expects a completed packfile on
stdout.
+
Note that this configuration variable is ignored if it is seen in the
repository-level config (this is a safety measure against fetching from
untrusted repositories).
uploadpack.allowFilter::
If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support partial
clone and partial fetch object filtering.
uploadpackfilter.allow::
Provides a default value for unspecified object filters (see: the
below configuration variable). If set to `true`, this will also
enable all filters which get added in the future.
Defaults to `true`.
uploadpackfilter.<filter>.allow::
Explicitly allow or ban the object filter corresponding to
`<filter>`, where `<filter>` may be one of: `blob:none`,
`blob:limit`, `object:type`, `tree`, `sparse:oid`, or `combine`.
If using combined filters, both `combine` and all of the nested
filter kinds must be allowed. Defaults to `uploadpackfilter.allow`.
uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth::
Only allow `--filter=tree:<n>` when `<n>` is no more than the value of
`uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth`. If set, this also implies
`uploadpackfilter.tree.allow=true`, unless this configuration
variable had already been set. Has no effect if unset.
uploadpack.allowRefInWant::
If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support the `ref-in-want`
feature of the protocol version 2 `fetch` command. This feature
is intended for the benefit of load-balanced servers which may
not have the same view of what OIDs their refs point to due to
replication delay.
