Add two new command-line options to 'git-repack':
--drop-filtered: intended to eventually delete objects that match
the filter specification. Requires --filter and -a,
and is incompatible with --filter-to.
--dry-run: show which objects would be dropped without making any
changes. Only meaningful with --drop-filtered.
Keep --dry-run as a separate option rather than folding it into
--drop-filtered (e.g. --drop-filtered=dry-run), to stay consistent with
the --dry-run option other Git commands already provide and to leave
room for it to describe other repack behavior later. A
--drop-filtered=<mode> form can still be added later if more
drop-specific modes are needed.
--drop-filtered also requires a promisor remote to be configured, since
dropping objects without a remote to fetch them back from would be
permanent data loss.
--drop-filtered is incompatible with bitmap writing: filtering breaks
the "all objects in one pack" closure that bitmaps require. Detect an
explicit -b/--write-bitmap-index on the command line with a dedicated
option callback that sets a "write_bitmaps_given" flag, so it can be
distinguished from a repack.writeBitmaps configuration value even when
config already enables bitmaps. An explicit -b is reported as a conflict,
while a config-provided default is silently disabled for the duration
of the command.
These options currently only perform validation. The actual enumeration
and deletion will be added in follow-up commits.
