[PATCH v2 16/27] upload-pack: add deepen-since to cut shallow repos based on time

["Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

This should allow the user to say "create a shallow clone containing the
work from last year" (once the client side is fixed up, of course).

In theory deepen-since and deepen (aka --depth) can be used together to
draw the shallow boundary (whether it's intersection or union is up to
discussion, but if rev-list is used, it's likely intersection). However,
because deepen goes with a custom commit walker, we can't mix the two
yet.

+------------
+
+This capability adds "deepen-since" command to fetch-pack/upload-pack
+protocol so the client can request shallow clones that are cut at a
+specific time, instead of depth. Internally it's equivalent of doing
+"rev-list --max-age=<timestamp>" on the server side. "deepen-since"
+cannot be used with "deepen".
