This series fixes the issue I mentioned recently with upload-pack, where
we might feed unparsed objects to the revision parser. The bug is in
435c833 (the tip of the jk/peel-ref topic), which is in v1.8.1 and up.
The fix should go to maint. The bug breaks shallow clones from
repositories with packed refs, though the effects range from working OK
to sending too many objects to calling die() in the revision traversal
machinery. Given the size of the breakage (I had several bug reports
within a few hours of deploying v1.8.1.5 on github.com), and the fact
that the bug was introduced only in v1.8.1, it may make sense to roll a
v1.8.1.6 in addition to putting it on the 1.8.2 maint track.
[1/3]: upload-pack: drop lookup-before-parse optimization
This is just a cleanup, and is not necessary for the fix.
[2/3]: upload-pack: make sure "want" objects are parsed
This is the fix itself, which can stand alone from the other two
patches, both semantically and textually.
[3/3]: upload-pack: load non-tip "want" objects from disk
While investigating the bug, I found some weirdness around the
stateless-rpc check_non_tip code. As far as I can tell, that code
never actually gets triggered. It's not too surprising that we
wouldn't have noticed, because it is about falling back due to a
race condition. But please sanity check my explanation and patch.
