Merge branch 'ds/push-sparse-tree-walk'

"git pack-objects" learned another algorithm to compute the set of
objects to send, that trades the resulting packfile off to save
traversal cost to favor small pushes.

* ds/push-sparse-tree-walk:
  pack-objects: create GIT_TEST_PACK_SPARSE
  pack-objects: create pack.useSparse setting
  revision: implement sparse algorithm
  list-objects: consume sparse tree walk
  revision: add mark_tree_uninteresting_sparse

true. You should not generally need to turn this off unless
you are debugging pack bitmaps.
pack.useSparse::
When true, git will default to using the '--sparse' option in
'git pack-objects' when the '--revs' option is present. This
algorithm only walks trees that appear in paths that introduce new
objects. This can have significant performance benefits when
computing a pack to send a small change. However, it is possible
that extra objects are added to the pack-file if the included
commits contain certain types of direct renames.
pack.writeBitmaps (deprecated)::
This is a deprecated synonym for `repack.writeBitmaps`.
