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.

When a fetch with the --filter argument is made, the configured default
filter is set even if one already exists. This change was made in
5e46139376 ("builtin/fetch: remove unique promisor remote limitation",
2019-06-25) - in particular, changing from:
* If this is the FIRST partial-fetch request, we enable partial
* on this repo and remember the given filter-spec as the default
* for subsequent fetches to this remote.
to:
* If this is a partial-fetch request, we enable partial on
* this repo if not already enabled and remember the given
* filter-spec as the default for subsequent fetches to this
* remote.
(The given filter-spec is "remembered" even if there is already an
existing one.)
This is problematic whenever a lazy fetch is made, because lazy fetches
are made using "git fetch --filter=blob:none", but this will also happen
if the user invokes "git fetch --filter=<filter>" manually. Therefore,
restore the behavior prior to 5e46139376, which writes a filter-spec
only if the current fetch request is the first partial-fetch one (for
that remote).

The name of the blob object that stores the filter specification
for sparse cloning/fetching was interpreted in a wrong place in the
code, causing Git to abort.
* jk/partial-clone-sparse-blob:
list-objects-filter: use empty string instead of NULL for sparse "base"
list-objects-filter: give a more specific error sparse parsing error
list-objects-filter: delay parsing of sparse oid
t5616: test cloning/fetching with sparse:oid=<oid> filter
The list-objects-filter API (used to create a sparse/lazy clone)
learned to take a combined filter specification.
* md/list-objects-filter-combo:
list-objects-filter-options: make parser void
list-objects-filter-options: clean up use of ALLOC_GROW
list-objects-filter-options: allow mult. --filter
strbuf: give URL-encoding API a char predicate fn
list-objects-filter-options: make filter_spec a string_list
list-objects-filter-options: move error check up
list-objects-filter: implement composite filters
list-objects-filter-options: always supply *errbuf
list-objects-filter: put omits set in filter struct
list-objects-filter: encapsulate filter components
The list-objects-filter code has two steps to its initialization:
1. parse_list_objects_filter() makes sure the spec is a filter we know
about and is syntactically correct. This step is done by "rev-list"
or "upload-pack" that is going to apply a filter, but also by "git
clone" or "git fetch" before they send the spec across the wire.
2. list_objects_filter__init() runs the type-specific initialization
(using function pointers established in step 1). This happens at
the start of traverse_commit_list_filtered(), when we're about to
actually use the filter.
It's a good idea to parse as much as we can in step 1, in order to catch
problems early (e.g., a blob size limit that isn't a number). But one
thing we _shouldn't_ do is resolve any oids at that step (e.g., for
sparse-file contents specified by oid). In the case of a fetch, the oid
has to be resolved on the remote side.
The current code does resolve the oid during the parse phase, but
ignores any error (which we must do, because we might just be sending
the spec across the wire). This leads to two bugs:
- if we're not in a repository (e.g., because it's git-clone parsing
the spec), then we trigger a BUG() trying to resolve the name
- if we did hit the error case, we still have to notice that later and
bail. The code path in rev-list handles this, but the one in
upload-pack does not, leading to a segfault.
We can fix both by moving the oid resolution into the sparse-oid init
function. At that point we know we have a repository (because we're
about to traverse), and handling the error there fixes the segfault.
As a bonus, we can drop the NULL sparse_oid_value check in rev-list,
since this is now handled in the sparse-oid-filter init function.

Allow combining of multiple filters by simply repeating the --filter
flag. Before this patch, the user had to combine them in a single flag
somewhat awkwardly (e.g. --filter=combine:FOO+BAR), including
URL-encoding the individual filters.
To make this work, in the --filter flag parsing callback, rather than
error out when we detect that the filter_options struct is already
populated, we modify it in-place to contain the added sub-filter. The
existing sub-filter becomes the lhs of the combined filter, and the
next sub-filter becomes the rhs. We also have to URL-encode the LHS and
RHS sub-filters.
We can simplify the operation if the LHS is already a combine: filter.
In that case, we just append the URL-encoded RHS sub-filter to the LHS
spec to get the new spec.

Make the filter_spec string a string_list rather than a raw C string.
The list of strings must be concatted together to make a complete
filter_spec. A future patch will use this capability to build "combine:"
filter specs gradually.
A strbuf would seem to be a more natural choice for this object, but it
unfortunately requires initialization besides just zero'ing out the
memory. This results in all container structs, and all containers of
those structs, etc., to also require initialization. Initializing them
all would be more cumbersome that simply using a string_list, which
behaves properly when its contents are zero'd.
For the purposes of code simplification, change behavior in how filter
specs are conveyed over the protocol: do not normalize the tree:<depth>
filter specs since there should be no server in existence that supports
tree:# but not tree:#k etc.

Allow combining filters such that only objects accepted by all filters
are shown. The motivation for this is to allow getting directory
listings without also fetching blobs. This can be done by combining
blob:none with tree:<depth>. There are massive repositories that have
larger-than-expected trees - even if you include only a single commit.
A combined filter supports any number of subfilters, and is written in
the following form:
combine:<filter 1>+<filter 2>+<filter 3>
Certain non-alphanumeric characters in each filter must be
URL-encoded.
For now, combined filters must be specified in this form. In a
subsequent commit, rev-list will support multiple --filter arguments
which will have the same effect as specifying one filter argument
starting with "combine:". The documentation will be updated in that
commit, as the URL-encoding scheme is in general not meant to be used
directly by the user, and it is better to describe the URL-encoding
feature in terms of the repeated flag.

If someone wants to use as a filter a sparse file that is in the
repository, something like "--filter=sparse:oid=<ref>:<path>"
already works.
So 'sparse:path' is only interesting if the sparse file is not in
the repository. In this case though the current implementation has
a big security issue, as it makes it possible to ask the server to
read any file, like for example /etc/password, and to explore the
filesystem, as well as individual lines of files.
If someone is interested in using a sparse file that is not in the
repository as a filter, then at the minimum a config option, such
as "uploadpack.sparsePathFilter", should be implemented first to
restrict the directory from which the files specified by
'sparse:path' can be read.
For now though, let's just disable 'sparse:path' filters.

Implement positive values for <depth> in the tree:<depth> filter. The
exact semantics are described in Documentation/rev-list-options.txt.
The long-term goal at the end of this is to allow a partial clone to
eagerly fetch an entire directory of files by fetching a tree and
specifying <depth>=1. This, for instance, would make a build operation
fast and convenient. It is fast because the partial clone does not need
to fetch each file individually, and convenient because the user does
not need to supply a sparse-checkout specification.
Another way of considering this feature is as a way to reduce
round-trips, since the client can get any number of levels of
directories in a single request, rather than wait for each level of tree
objects to come back, whose entries are used to construct a new request.

Teach list-objects the "tree:0" filter which allows for filtering
out all tree and blob objects (unless other objects are explicitly
specified by the user). The purpose of this patch is to allow smaller
partial clones.
The name of this filter - tree:0 - does not explicitly specify that
it also filters out all blobs, but this should not cause much confusion
because blobs are not at all useful without the trees that refer to
them.
I also considered only:commits as a name, but this is inaccurate because
it suggests that annotated tags are omitted, but actually they are
included.
The name "tree:0" allows later filtering based on depth, i.e. "tree:1"
would filter out all but the root tree and blobs. In order to avoid
confusion between 0 and capital O, the documentation was worded in a
somewhat round-about way that also hints at this future improvement to
the feature.
