[PATCH v5 06/14] pack-objects: test support for blob filtering

[Jeff Hostetler <git@jeffhostetler.com>]

From: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com>

As part of an effort to improve Git support for very large repositories
in which clients typically have only a subset of all version-controlled
blobs, test pack-objects support for --filter=blob:limit=<n>, packing only
blobs not exceeding that size unless the blob corresponds to a file
whose name starts with ".git". upload-pack will eventually be taught to
use this new parameter if needed to exclude certain blobs during a fetch
or clone, potentially drastically reducing network consumption when
serving these very large repositories.
