NOTE: this patch is based on top of md/list-objects-filter-by-depth Currently, git clients pass filter specs verbatim over the network and to subprocesses. We support various numeric abbreviations for parameters on these limits (via git_parse_ulong()), but other implementations may not support the same abbreviations (or may support them differently; e.g., should "1k" == 1000 or 1024?). It would be better to only pass fully-expanded numbers in this case, and keep the expansion logic completely on the client side. This patch updates the protocol-v2 doc to specify that clients MUST expand abbreviations in filter specifications before passing them to other processes. It adds a new function "expand_list_objects_filter_spec()" in list-objects-filter-options.c that implements the expansion logic, and updates users of the filter_spec field to instead expand the spec first.
