[PATCH v2 2/8] revision: mark commit parents as NOT_USER_GIVEN

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2338 bytes --]

The NOT_USER_GIVEN flag of an object marks whether a flag was explicitly
provided by the user or not. The most important use case for this is
when filtering objects: only objects that were not explicitly requested
will get filtered.

The flag is currently only set for blobs and trees, which has been fine
given that there are no filters for tags or commits currently. We're
about to extend filtering capabilities to add object type filter though,
which requires us to set up the NOT_USER_GIVEN flag correctly -- if it's
not set, the object wouldn't get filtered at all.

Mark unseen commit parents as NOT_USER_GIVEN when processing parents.
Like this, explicitly provided parents stay user-given and thus
unfiltered, while parents which get loaded as part of the graph walk
can be filtered.

This commit shouldn't have any user-visible impact yet as there is no
logic to filter commits yet.
