[PATCH 07/10] index-pack: add --allow-partial option to relax blob existence checks

[git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

From: Jeff Hostetler <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Teach index-pack to optionally not complain when there are missing
blobs.  This is for use following a partial clone or fetch when
the server omitted certain blobs.
