[PATCH 0/2] repack: add --filter=

This patch series aims to make partial clones more useful by allowing repack to create packfiles with promisor objects. The longer vision is to be able to use partial clones on a git server to offload large blobs to an http server. We can then store large blobs on said http server, and use a remote helper to grab these objects when necessary.

This is the first step in allowing a repack to honor a filter spec.

John Cai (2):
  pack-objects: allow --filter without --stdout
  repack: add --filter=<filter-spec> option
