[PATCH v2 0/5] Bundle URIs II: git clone --bundle-uri

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

This is the second series building the bundle URI feature as discussed in
the previous series that added the design document [1]. This series does not
modify the design document, so the patches are independent and can be
applied to the latest 'master'.

[1]
https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1248.v3.git.1658757188.gitgitgadget@gmail.com

This series brings in just enough logic that we can bootstrap clones from a
single bundle using git clone --bundle-uri=<X>.

 * Patch 1 adds a 'get' capability to 'git remote-https' which allows
   downloading the contents of a URI to a local file.
 * Patch 2 creates basic file-copy logic within a new bundle-uri.c file. It
   is not used until patch 3.
 * Patch 3 creates the git clone --bundle-uri=<X> option, allowing Git to
   bootstrap a clone from a bundle, but get the remaining objects from the
   origin URL. (As of this patch, it only accepts a filename.)
 * Patch 4 extends the git clone --bundle-uri=<X> option to allow file://
   and https:// URIs.
 * Patch 5 is a CLI helper to avoid using --bundle-uri and --depth at the
   same time in git clone.

As outlined in [1], the next steps after this are:

 1. Allow parsing a bundle list as a config file at the given URI. The
    key-value format is unified with the protocol v2 verb (coming in (3)).
    [2]
 2. Implement the protocol v2 verb, re-using the bundle list logic from (2).
    Use this to auto-discover bundle URIs during 'git clone' (behind a
    config option). [3]
 3. Implement the 'creationToken' heuristic, allowing incremental 'git
    fetch' commands to download a bundle list from a configured URI, and
    only download bundles that are new based on the creation token values.
    [4]

I have prepared some of this work as pull requests on my personal fork so
curious readers can look ahead to where we are going:

[2] https://github.com/derrickstolee/git/pull/20

[3] https://github.com/derrickstolee/git/pull/21

[4] https://github.com/derrickstolee/git/pull/22

Note: this series includes some code pulled out of the first series [1], and
in particular the git fetch --bundle-uri=<X> option is removed. The
intention was to replace that with git bundle fetch <X>, but that conflicts
with the work to refactor how subcommands are parsed. The git bundle fetch
subcommand could be added later for maximum flexibility on the client side,
but we can also move forward without it.


Updates in v2
=============

 * Several typos or small tweaks. See the range-diff for details.

Thanks, -Stolee

          little benefit. This is especially the case because we expect that most
