Taylor Blau 2b8d07ef91 path-walk: support object:type filter
The `object:type` filter accepts only objects of a single type; it is
the second member of the object-info-only filter family that bitmap
traversal already supports.

Like `blob:none` and `tree:0`, it can be evaluated with nothing more
than the object's type, which is exactly the granularity path-walk's
existing info->{commits,trees,blobs,tags} flags already control.

Map `LOFC_OBJECT_TYPE` in `prepare_filters()` by AND-ing each flag
against the filtered type. A single `object:type=X` filter
applied to the default info (all flags = 1) leaves `info->X = 1` and
all the others 0, which is what we want.

Using an AND rather than straight assignment prepares us for a
subsequent change to implement combined object filters.

The path-walk machinery is mostly already wired for the per-type
distinction:

 - `walk_path()` calls `path_fn` for a batch only when the corresponding
   `info->X` flag is set, so unwanted types are silently not reported.

 - `add_tree_entries()` skips tree entries of type `OBJ_BLOB` when
   `info->blobs` is unset, so we don't even allocate paths for them.

 - The commit-walk loop short-circuits the root-tree fetch when
   `!info->trees && !info->blobs`, so commit-only filters don't descend
   into trees at all.

But there are a couple of side effects of the "trees off, blobs on" case
that need fixing:

 1. 'setup_pending_objects()' previously skipped pending trees as soon
    as `info->trees` was zero. For 'object:type=blob' the call site
    needs those pending trees: a lightweight tag pointing to a tree, or
    an annotated tag whose peeled target is a tree, can both reach
    blobs that are otherwise unreachable from any commit's root tree.
    Loosen the gate to "if (!info->trees && !info->blobs) continue" and
    similarly retrieve the root_tree_list whenever either trees or
    blobs are wanted.

 2. The revision machinery's `handle_commit()` drops pending trees when
    `revs->tree_objects` is zero (see the 'OBJ_TREE' handler in
    revision.c), so by the time path-walk sees the pending list
    after `prepare_revision_walk()` the tree-bearing pendings would
    already be gone. Fix this by setting

        revs->tree_objects = info->trees || info->blobs

    so pending trees survive `prepare_revision_walk()` whenever we
    need to walk into them. Path-walk still resets tree_objects to
    zero immediately after `prepare_revision_walk()` returns, so the
    rev-walk itself never enumerates trees redundantly with
    path-walk's own descent.

Add coverage in t6601 for each of the four `object:type` values. The
'object:type=blob' test in particular asserts that file2 and child/file
(both reachable only through tag-pointed trees) show up in the output,
exercising the pending-tree fix.

Update Documentation/git-pack-objects.adoc to add object:type to
the list of supported --filter forms.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.adoc to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.adoc (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
