This series contains patches to address a significant push performance regression in repositories with large amounts of refs. It avoids performing expensive edge marking unless the repository is shallow.

The first patch in the series is a fix for a minor typo I discovered when editing the documentation. The second patch implements git rev-list --objects-edge-aggressive, and the third patch ensures it's used for pushing to and fetching from shallow repos only.

The changes from v3 are to use --objects-edge-aggressive from the point it's introduced (this preserves bisectability) and to make higher-level commands pass --shallow for any shallow pushing and fetching instead of trying to have pack-objects determine it.

The original fix was suggested by Duy Nguyen.
