From: John Cai via GitGitGadget Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2022 02:10:03 GMT Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] pack-objects: allow --filter without --stdout Message-ID: In-Reply-To: From: John Cai 9535ce7 taught pack-objects to use filtering, but added a requirement of the --stdout since a partial clone mechanism was not yet in place to handle missing objects. Since then, changes like 9e27beaa and others added support to dynamically fetch objects that were missing. Remove the --stdout requirement so that in the next commit, repack can pass --filter to pack-objects to omit certain objects from the packfile.
