This is a fault-in model where the "read-object" sub-process will fetch the missing object and store it in the object store as a loose, alternate, or pack file. On success, git will retry the operation and find the requested object. It utilizes the recent sub-process refactoring to spawn a "read-object" hook as a sub-process on the first request and then all subsequent requests are made to that existing sub-process. This significantly reduces the cost of making multiple request within a single git command. An earlier version [1] of this patch series is pulled into [2] which enables registering multiple ODB handlers which can be a simple command or a sub-process. My hope is that this patch series can be completed to meet the needs of the various efforts where faulting in missing objects is required. In the meantime, now that the sub-process refactoring has made it to master, Ive refactored this patch series to be as small and focused as possible so it can be easily incorporated in other patch series where it makes sense. [3] has a need for faulting in missing objects and will be reworked to take advantage of this patch series for its next iteration. [4] has a similar function that uses a registered command instead of a sub-process. Spawning a separate process for every missing object only works if there are very few missing objects. It does not scale well when there are many missing objects (especially small objects like commits and trees).
