The `--missing` option in git-rev-list(1) was introduced intitally to deal with missing blobs in the context of promissory notes. Eventually the option was extended to also support tree objects in 7c0fe330d5 (rev-list: handle missing tree objects properly,2018-10-05). This patch series extends the `--missing` option to also add support for commit objects. We do this by introducing a new flag `MISSING` which is added whenever we encounter a missing commit during traversal. Then in `builtin/rev-list` we check for this flag and take the appropriate action based on the `--missing=*` option used. This series is an alternate to the patch series I had posted earlier: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20230908174208.249184-1-karthik.188@xxxxxxxxx/. In that patch, we introduced an option `--ignore-missing-links` which was added to expose the `ignore_missing_links` bit to the user. The issue in that patch was that, the option `--ignore-missing-links` didn't play well the pre-existing `--missing` option. This series avoids that route and just extends the `--missing` option for commits to solve the same problem.
