[PATCH 0/2] [WIP] removed fetch_if_missing global

We are not much happy with global variable fetch_if_missing. So, in commit 6462d5eb9a ("fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0", 2019-11-08) Jonathan Tan jonathantanmy@google.com [jonathantanmy@google.com] attempted to remove the need for fetch_if_missing=0 from the fetching mechanism. After that, fetch_if_missing is removed from clone and promisor-remote too.

I imitated the same logic to remove fetch_if_missing from fetch-pack & index-pack.

I'm looking forward to remove fetch_if_missing from other places too, but I not sure about how to handle it.

In fsck, fetch_if_missing is set to 0 in the beginning of cmd_fsck().

In rev-list, fetch_if_missing is set to 0 in parse_missing_action_value(), and in cmd_rev_list() while parsing the command-line parameters.(almost similar case in pack-objects)

fixes #251
