From 8d5d2a34df4f82cd9cce913fa25f3a3c2c07d126 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Tan Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2020 13:57:18 -0700 Subject: http-fetch: support fetching packfiles by URL Teach http-fetch the ability to download packfiles directly, given a URL, and to verify them. The http_pack_request suite has been augmented with a function that takes a URL directly. With this function, the hash is only used to determine the name of the temporary file.
