[PATCH v3 2/8] revision: mark commit parents as NOT_USER_GIVEN

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Apr 9, 2021, 11:27 UTC
Message-ID
<46c1952405173eca40706ed7be3b939b210ad2d5.1617967252.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1617967252.git.ps@pks.im>

The NOT_USER_GIVEN flag of an object marks whether a flag was explicitly provided by the user or not. The most important use case for this is when filtering objects: only objects that were not explicitly requested will get filtered.

The flag is currently only set for blobs and trees, which has been fine given that there are no filters for tags or commits currently. We're about to extend filtering capabilities to add object type filter though, which requires us to set up the NOT_USER_GIVEN flag correctly -- if it's not set, the object wouldn't get filtered at all.

Mark unseen commit parents as NOT_USER_GIVEN when processing parents. Like this, explicitly provided parents stay user-given and thus unfiltered, while parents which get loaded as part of the graph walk can be filtered.

This commit shouldn't have any user-visible impact yet as there is no logic to filter commits yet.
