Justin Tobler 68cb0b5253 builtin/receive-pack: add option to skip connectivity check
During git-receive-pack(1), connectivity of the object graph is
validated to ensure that the received packfile does not leave the
repository in a broken state. This is done via git-rev-list(1) and
walking the objects, which can be expensive for large repositories.

Generally, this check is critical to avoid an incomplete received
packfile from corrupting a repository. Server operators may have
additional knowledge though around exactly how Git is being used on the
server-side which can be used to facilitate more efficient connectivity
computation of incoming objects.

For example, if it can be ensured that all objects in a repository are
connected and do not depend on any missing objects, the connectivity of
newly written objects can be checked by walking the object graph
containing only the new objects from the updated tips and identifying
the missing objects which represent the boundary between the new objects
and the repository. These boundary objects can be checked in the
canonical repository to ensure the new objects connect as expected and
thus avoid walking the rest of the object graph.

Git itself cannot make the guarantees required for such an optimization
as it is possible for a repository to contain an unreachable object that
references a missing object without the repository being considered
corrupt.

Introduce the --skip-connectivity-check option for git-receive-pack(1)
which bypasses this connectivity check to give more control to the
server-side. Note that without proper server-side validation of newly
received objects handled outside of Git, usage of this option risks
corrupting a repository.
