[PATCH v2 06/17] path-walk: add prune_all_uninteresting option

In-Reply-To
<pull.1813.v2.git.1729431810.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

This option causes the path-walk API to act like the sparse tree-walk algorithm implemented by mark_trees_uninteresting_sparse() in list-objects.c.

Starting from the commits marked as UNINTERESTING, their root trees and all objects reachable from those trees are UNINTERSTING, at least as we walk path-by-path. When we reach a path where all objects associated with that path are marked UNINTERESTING, then do no continue walking the children of that path.

We need to be careful to pass the UNINTERESTING flag in a deep way on the UNINTERESTING objects before we start the path-walk, or else the depth-first search for the path-walk API may accidentally report some objects as interesting.

 While it is possible to walk only commits in this way, consumers would be
 better off using the revision walk API instead.
 
+`prune_all_uninteresting`::
+	By default, all reachable paths are emitted by the path-walk API.
+	This option allows consumers to declare that they are not
+	interested in paths where all included objects are marked with the
+	`UNINTERESTING` flag. This requires using the `boundary` option in
+	the revision walk so that the walk emits commits marked with the
+	`UNINTERESTING` flag.
