Merge branch 'ds/push-sparse-tree-walk'
"git pack-objects" learned another algorithm to compute the set of
objects to send, that trades the resulting packfile off to save
traversal cost to favor small pushes.
* ds/push-sparse-tree-walk:
pack-objects: create GIT_TEST_PACK_SPARSE
pack-objects: create pack.useSparse setting
revision: implement sparse algorithm
list-objects: consume sparse tree walk
revision: add mark_tree_uninteresting_sparse
