Greetings, It is possible to configure git-rev-list(1) to print the OID of missing objects by setting the `--missing=print` option. While it is useful knowing about these objects, it would be nice to have even more context about the objects that are missing. Luckily, from an object containing the missing object, it is possible to infer additional information the missing object. For example, if the tree containing a missing blob still exists, the tree entry for the missing object should contain path and type information. This series aims to provide a git-rev-list(1) option that, when combined with the existing `--missing=print` option, prints other potentially interesting information about the missing object. - Patch 1 introduces the `--missing-info` option and supports printing the missing object path information. - Patch 2 extends the `--missing-info` option to also print object type information about the missing object. Changes in V2: - A `--missing-info` option is now used instead of an explicit `--missing=print-type` option to print additional missing object info in a more generalized fashion. This enables other use cases outside of just the missing object type. - Support for printing the full path of the missing object from the top-level tree is also added with `--missing-info`. Due to all rearranging/changes in this version, I opted not to include a range-diff.
