-* jt/transfer-fsck-across-packs (2021-02-22) 4 commits
-  (merged to 'next' on 2021-02-22 at 76f1327431)
- + fetch-pack: print and use dangling .gitmodules
- + fetch-pack: with packfile URIs, use index-pack arg
- + http-fetch: allow custom index-pack args
- + http: allow custom index-pack args
-
- The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is
- attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core,
- inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be
- applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree
- object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as
- ".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as
- ".gitmodules" file, for example.  Teach "index-pack" to emit
- objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling
- "fetch-pack" process.

- + docs: clarify that refs/notes/ do not keep the attached objects alive
-
- Objects that lost references can be pruned away, even when they
- have notes attached to it (and these notes will become dangling,
- which in turn can be pruned with "git notes prune").  This has been
- clarified in the documentation.

-
- Raise the buffer size used when writing the index file out from
- (obviously too small) 8kB to (clearly sufficiently large) 128kB.
- We may want to extend this to use a value the platform suggests as
- the best size with a follow-up patch, but this should do for now.
