[RFC PATCH 2/7] fetch-pack: allow NULL negotiator->known_common

From

Message-ID
<401227c2220b6b45d80e21b52e29b6821ca139f9.1596590295.git.jonathantanmy@google.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1596590295.git.jonathantanmy@google.com>

In a subsequent patch, a null fetch negotiator will be introduced. This negotiator, among other things, will not need any information about common objects and will have a NULL known_common. Teach fetch-pack to allow this.

[NEEDSWORK] Optimizing out the ref iteration also affects the execution of everything_local(), which relies on COMPLETE being set. (Having said that, the typical use case - lazy fetching - would be fine with everything_local() always returning that not everything is local.)

This optimization is needed so that in the future, fetch_pack() can be used to lazily fetch in a partial clone (without the no_dependents flag). This means that fetch_pack() needs a way to execute without relying on any targets of refs being present, and thus it cannot use the ref iterator (because it checks and lazy-fetches any missing targets). (Git currently does not have this problem because we use the no_dependents flag, but lazy-fetching will in a subsequent patch be changed to use the user-facing fetch command, which does not use this flag.) [/NEEDSWORK]
