Subject: [PATCH 07/10] index-pack: add --allow-partial option to relax blob existence checks

From: Jeff Hostetler <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2017 17:38:02 +0000

From: Jeff Hostetler <[email-masked]>

Teach index-pack to optionally not complain when there are missing
blobs.  This is for use following a partial clone or fetch when
the server omitted certain blobs.
