Subject: [PATCH] Implement --recover for git-*-fetch
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0509262137360.23242@iabervon.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.63.0509262137360.23242%40iabervon.org

```
With the --recover option, we verify that we have absolutely
everything reachable from the target, not assuming that things
reachable from refs will be complete.
