[PATCH v2 2/2] diff: batch fetching of missing blobs

From
JTJonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com>

Message-ID
<44de02e584f449481e6fb00cf35d74adf0192e9d.1553895166.git.jonathantanmy@google.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1553895166.git.jonathantanmy@google.com>

When running a command like "git show" or "git diff" in a partial clone, batch all missing blobs to be fetched as one request.

This is similar to c0c578b33c ("unpack-trees: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2017-12-08), but for another command.
