From: Christian Couder <chriscool@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 9535ce7337 (pack-objects: add list-objects filtering, 2017-11-21) taught pack-objects to use --filter, but required the use of --stdout since a partial clone mechanism was not yet in place to handle missing objects. Since then, changes like 9e27beaa23 (promisor-remote: implement promisor_remote_get_direct(), 2019-06-25) and others added support to dynamically fetch objects that were missing. Remove the --stdout requirement so that in a follow-up commit, repack can pass --filter to pack-objects to omit certain objects from the resulting packfile.
