[PATCH] Add -d flag to git-pull-* family.

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:41:59

When a remote repository is deltified, we need to get the
objects that a deltified object we want to obtain is based upon.
Since checking representation type of all objects we retreive
from remote side may be costly, this is made into a separate
option -d; -a implies it for convenience and safety.

Rsync transport does not have this problem since it fetches
everything the remote side has.

I wonder if making this optional makes sense.  In fact, if you believe 
having the option is useful then it should probably be the other 
way around i.e. to _not_ look at deltas when it is specified.  Otherwise 
you'll end up with an incoherent repository.

To minimize the cost a lot it could be possible to uncompress just the 
first 40 bytes or so which is enough to determine if the object is a 
delta and if so what object it is against.

What do you think?
