One unresolved issue with the commit-graph feature is that it can cause
issues when combined with replace objects, commit grafts, or shallow
clones. These are not 100% incompatible, as one could be reasonably
successful writing a commit-graph after replacing some objects and not
have issues. The problems happen when commits that are already in the
commit-graph file are replaced, or when git is run with the
`--no-replace-objects` option; this can cause incorrect parents or
incorrect generation numbers. Similar things occur with commit grafts
and shallow clones, especially when running `git fetch --unshallow` in a
shallow repo.

Instead of trying (and probably failing) to make these features work
together, default to making the commit-graph feature unavailable in these
situations. Create a new method 'commit_graph_compatible(r)' that checks
if the repository 'r' has any of these features enabled.

CHANGES IN V2:

* The first two commits regarding the ref iterators are unchanged, despite
   a lot of discussion on the subject [1].

* I included Peff's changes in jk/core-use-replace-refs, changing the base
   commit for the series to 1689c22c1c328e9135ed51458e9f9a5d224c5057 (the merge
   that brought that topic into 'msater').

* I fixed the tests for the interactions with the graft feature.

Because of the change of base, it is hard to provide a side-by-side diff
from v1.

     Stefan's response recommending we keep the first two commits.

After reviewing my own patches, I flipped again (Sorry!) and would
rather not see my patches be merged, but the very original solution
by you, that you proposed at [1]. That said, I will not insist on it, and
if this is merged as is, we can fix it up later.

With that said, I just read through the remaining patches, I think
they are a valuable addition to Git and could be merged as-is.

Just to keep things on-list as possible, here is the patch for the commit linked above. It would replace patches 1 & 2 from this series.

Junio: I can send a v3 that includes this commit if you need it, or if there are other edits to be made in this series.

    replace-objects: use arbitrary repositories

    This is the smallest possible change that makes prepare_replace_objects
    work properly with arbitrary repositories. By supplying the repository
    as the cb_data, we do not need to modify any code in the ref iterator
    logic. We will likely want to do a full replacement of the ref iterator
    logic to provide a repository struct as a concrete parameter.
